Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία – geographia) is the science that studies the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of the Earth. Eratosthenes (276-194 BC) was the first person to use the word "geography" Four historical traditions in geographical research are the spatial analysis of the natural and the human phenomena (geography as the study of distribution), the area studies (places and regions), the study of the man-land relationship, and the research in the earth sciences. Nevertheless, the modern geography is an all-encompassing discipline that principally seeks to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be. "Geography is the science of our world, and using and sharing geographic knowledge is the key to our future."—Jack Dangermond, Esri President
Basically in a traditional setting, geographers have been viewed the same way as cartographers and people who study place names and numbers. Although many geographers are trained in toponymy (Toponymy is the scientific study of place names (toponyms), their origins, meanings, use and typology). The word "toponymy" is derived from the Greek words tópos (τόπος) ("place") and ónoma (ὄνομα) ("name"). Toponymy is itself a branch of onomastics, the study of names of all kinds.
Though often confused with etymology (which is the study of the origins of words.), Toponymy is distinctively different from etymology and cartology, Geographers study the spatial and the temporal distribution of phenomena, processes, and features as well as the interaction of humans and their environment. Because space and place affect a variety of topics, such as economics, health, climate, plants and animals; geography is highly interdisciplinary.
Geography as a discipline can be split broadly into two main subsidiary fields: the human geography and the physical geography. Human geography largely centers on the built environment and how humans create, view, manage, and influence space. Physical geography is mainly concerned with the natural environment, and how organisms, climate, soil, water, and landforms produce and interact. The difference between these approaches led to a third field, the environmental geography, which combines the physical and the human geography, and looks at the interactions between the environment and humans.
Geography has been called "the world discipline" and "the bridge between the human and the physical science". Geography is divided into two main branches: the human geography and the physical geography.
