GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The word Geography is derived from the Greek word geo (the Earth, in its broadest meaning) and graphos (graphy, to write about). Literally, to write about the Earth. Often this has meant just learning about countries, their crops, landforms and people–the “states and capitals” approach if you will.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The study of Geography relies on writing to describe, analyze and present research results related to both global and local problems and issues. These include such global issues as famine, global warming, population patterns, and climate monitoring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eratosthenes, the ancient Greek scholar is called the ‘father of geography. He was the first one to use the word geography and he also had a small-scale notion of the planet that helped him to determine the circumference of the earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -It consists of vertices and edges connecting those vertices. A geographic graph is a graph where vertices are associated with locations. An example of a geographic graph is one modelling a road network: the vertices correspond to intersections and the edges to the roads connecting them.
