Question

write about 200 words geography and history .​

Answer 1

The history of geography includes many histories of geography which have differed over time and between different cultural and political groups. In more recent developments, geography has become a distinct academic discipline. 'Geography' derives from the Greek γεωγραφία – geographia, literally "Earth-writing", that is, description or writing about the Earth. The first person to use the word geographia was Eratosthenes (276–194 BC). However, there is evidence for recognizable practices of geography, such as cartography (map-making), prior to the use of the term.
