About Geography

What is geography all about?

  • It's a challenge to define geography in a single sentence, as it encompasses so much of the world around us.
  • Geography looks at peoples' relationships with their environments. Some of these environments are physical, some are social; all are of interest to geographers!
  • And yes - geography is also about maps and landforms too!
