What is Geography? - ANS The word "geography" comes from the Greek words 'ge' meaning 'Earth',
and 'graphein' meaning to 'describe'. Geography is probably best described as "the study of the Earth as
the home of humankind".

What are the six essential elements of geography as defined by the National Council for Geographic
Education? - ANS The world in spacial terms. Geography studies the relationship between people,
places and environments by mapping information about them into a spacial context.

Places and regions. The identities and lives of individuals and peoples are rooted in particular places and
in human constructs called "regions".

Physical systems. Physical processes shape the Earth's surface and interact with plant and animal life to
create, sustain, and modify ecosystems.

Human systems. People are central to geography; human activities, settlements, and structures help
shape the Earth's surface, and humans compete for control of the Earth's surface.

Environment and society. The physical environment is influenced by the way in which human societies
value and use the Earth's physical features and processes.



What does each element indicate about geography's concern with space, place, or the environment? -
ANS Uses of geography. Knowledge of geography enables people to develop an understanding of the
relationship between people, places, and environments over time---that is, of the Earth as it was, is, and
might be.
