The word geography is coined from two Greek words: "geo", meaning the Earth, and "graph", meaning to describe.so, geography can simply Be defined as the description of the Earth.
However, geography is more than a mere description of the Earth. Hence, it is better defined as the study of people, their activities, places, and physical things within the earth.
Geography deals with the study of different people in different locations of the Earth including their activities like agriculture, mining, fishing, trading, manufacturing, and construction. It also involves the study of places like the USA, China, Brazil, and others. Above all, geography also deals with the study of physical things within the arts such as rocks, mountains and plains, oceans, rivers, climates, vegetation, soil, and atmosphere.
Scope of geography
Geography is a social science subject that deals with the study of man and his activities within his environment. in other words, geography ideas are real, practical, and easy to understand because they are relevant to our everyday life experiences. Geography touches many other disciplines such as agricultural science, government, history, and economics. It is a subject that cuts across many other fields of human study.
Value or importance of geography
Geography is very important because of the following reasons:
To study the Way of Life of other people: it enables us to study the way of life of other people in other parts of the world. Without geography, it would have been difficult to know the existence and the Way of Life of Americans, Britons, Brazilians, and the Japanese.
Studying the physical environment around us: enables us to study physical things around us such as soil, vegetation, climate, rivers, ocean, and mountains.
To know the importance of the physical features around us: enables us to know the importance of the physical feature around us and how they can be harnessed for human use. For example, the climate of an area enables us to know the type of crops to grow; vegetation provide timber for us; rivers help in transportation, generation of electricity, and also provide fish for food
To understand other areas of other subjects: it enables us to understand other areas of another subject like vegetation and soil in agriculture, ecology, and food chain in biology, population, industries, and trade in Economics
To choose a professional career: it enables us to choose a career from which we can earn a living and contribute to the economic development of our country. Careers like land surveying, urban and regional planning, Estate Management, military studies, Aviation, architecture will not be possible to study in higher institutions of learning without the knowledge of geography
To study the social environment around us: geography helps us to study the social environment around us. Such social environments are schools, churches, markets, and mosques.
It aids in internal and external trade: geography has helped us to know the resources of other regions or countries, and this has assisted us to determine both internal and external trade.#whatisgeography #scopeofgeography #importanceofgeography@Henkjan de Krijger
