Geography is defined by its concern with place, striving to answer spatial questions regarding the earth’s surface. Geography also describes and explains the character of regions; ascertains the ways in which historical and contemporary humans have used and shaped the earth’s surface; and assists to understand the interactions of physical, biotic, and human systems within our global environment. Students of geography find that they develop insights and methods of inquiry that are particularly applicable to understanding many of the complex problems confronting societies.
