Answer 1

ANSWER:

Geography is an all-inclusive discipline which seeks in comprehending the Earth and its natural and human; not only where objects are, but also in what way they have transformed and come to be. Geography as a discipline is the bridge between physical sciences and human beings.

EXPLANATION:

       Geography is a discipline of synthesis, and comprises temporal and spatial synthesis. Its strategy is holistic in nature. It recognises the reality that the globe is a structure of interdependence. The present world is a global village.

       The effectual communication and transport assisted the globe to become an integrated village. The audio-visual media facilitated data to be enhanced. Technology gave better chances of observing natural phenomena in addition to the social and economic parameters. Geography has interface with many social and natural sciences.

Geography as an integrated discipline can be divided largely into 2 key supplementary fields:  

• Physical geography
• Human geography

         The former studies the natural environs, and in what way climate, organisms, water, landforms, and soil form and interact.

         The latter fundamentally emphases on the built environs and in what way humans create, manage, influence, and view space. The variance between these two approaches resulted in a 3rd field known as environmental geography that combines human and physical geography and focuses on the interactions between humans and the environs.
