Geography

Geography is the science of the earth's locations. It deals with the distribution of natural and human parts on the earth's surface. It tries to describe instead of predict, so are is some overlap with zoology (also descriptive) and ecology (more predictive).

The word geography comes from the Greek words gê ("Earth") and graphein ("to write").
