What is the Etymology of the word Geography?
The word ‘geography’ originates from two Greek words. The first is ‘geo’ which means ‘the earth’ and the second Greek word is “graph” which means ‘to write’).
Origins of the Word Geography
The first recorded use of the word geography was by Eratosthenes, a Greek scholar who lived from 276–194 BC who is credited with creating the discipline of geography (Eratosthenes’ Geography. Princeton University Press. 2010).
What is Geography?
Therefore, Geography is the science that deals with the description of the Earth’s surface.
Geography is much more than cartography, the study of maps. It not only investigates what is where on the Earth, but also why it’s there not somewhere else, sometimes referred to as “location in space”.
Geography studies this whether the cause is natural or human. It also studies the consequences of those differences.
Those that study geography are divided into two main areas: physical geography and human geography.
