About Geography
As a discipline, geography seeks to identify and to explain spatial relationships inherent in mankind’s existence on a dynamic Earth. Mankind increasingly influences the physical environment and in return is impacted by those same forces of nature. Geographers study both the human and physical components of life on Earth and address the relationships between mankind and the environment.
