Document Summary
Geography is the study of where/spatial variation/places. There are 3 main divisions of geography: physical/environmental geography landforms, soils, vegetation, etc, human geography human activity, social, political, urban, population, etc, geotechniques geographic informational systems (gis), cartography, etc. There are 2 principal approaches: systematic study climate, landform, regional geography holistic study of particular places on the earth.
