Geography and Environment is the study of the inter relationships between the Earth and its people. It is considered both a social and natural science. It focuses on climate, land, water, space, mineral resources, population density, changes in the environment, and how man adapts to them. Geographical study encompasses human geography, economic geography, physical geography, political geography, medical geography, regional and educational geography.
Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment, and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. "(Source: National Geographic Society)."
