What is Geography ?? 

        Since their earliest presence on Earth, humans have sought to make sense of their surrounding the behaviour of a volcano , the flood cycles of a river , or the optimum time to cross a mountain pass - and humans developed ways to record and pass on such information . As they ventured from their places of origin , by land and by sea , people aquired a broader perspective of Earth's process and of the partterns and impact of human settlement throughout the world 
       
            Ancient cultures such as the Egyptian , Phoenician and Chinese amassed Geographical understanding , but few of those records survive , and so the Greeks have become today's main source of early knowledge . Homer's epics , The liad and The odyssey , written in the ninth century B.C ., reveal the Greeks as intrepid travelers and keen observers of distant lands . They also excelled in scientific inquiry . Aristotle , for example , sought to determine the size and nature of Earth in the fourth century B.C.
            
          Geographic knowledge advanced exponentially during the heyday of exploration by both European and Asian explorers in the 15 th , 16 th and 17 th centuries. Mapping , surveying , and specimen collecting became stock activities on every college.
    
          In the 21st century , a few computer clicks can bring up photo images or map information for much of EARTH'S surface . We take for granted the ability to get directions to almost anywhere we need to go , without our needing to plot the course on a map .
    

          Morden science and information gathering have been given geographers more insight than ever before , and morde technology allows it to be sha worldwide , but for many people the facts and terms lack a context . An understanding of Geography, both physical and culture , provides that context - ever more necessary and important , as global interaction s and shared responsibility for earth's future connect us all.

The scope of Geography Geography : From the Greek geo , Earth ,+ graphic , write about or describe . The systematic study of the physical Earth and it's human population - where things are and how they got there . The field is divided into two major areas : physical geography and human geography. Today Geography is rooted in location , but it involves more than the position of place - names on the map . It Integrates methods and knowledge from many different disciplines and encompasses both the physical and the social science . It links all these disciplines to determine why things happen in a particular location or according to particular spatial patterns .              Physical geography incorporates geology , climatology , biology , ecology , hydrogeology and other natural sciences. Human geography includes cultural anthropology , economics , political science , history , demography and other social science . Cartography , which is the art and science of

How map was made ?? The world in maps                 Think of how hard it is to peel an orange and press the resulting pieces of peel down flat on a table . That analogy represents the challenge faced by the mapmaker , who attempts to turn the spherical planet Earth into a flat visual representation. To tackle the challenge -- getting the surface of a sphere to lie flat cartographers use shape that lend themselves to flattening , such as planes , cones , and cylinders , known as developable surfaces .           By applying mathematical calculation to the developable surfaces, they can transform Earth's features into flat form's. Those forms are called projections and they rep the cha of mapmaking through the centuries.                Projections inevitable results in distortions . Those  distortions can be controlled to some de by the choice of map shape , which depends on which part of the planet is of most interest to the cartographer .
