Geography (from Greek Î³ÎµÏÎ³ÏÎ±ÏÎ¯Î±, geographia, literally earth description) is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of Earth. The first person to use the word Î³ÎµÏÎ³ÏÎ±ÏÎ¯Î± was Eratosthenes (276â194 BC). Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of the Earth and its human and natural complexitiesânot merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be. It is often defined in terms of the two branches of human geography and physical geography.
