Here's why:
* Geography encompasses the study of the Earth's physical features (like mountains, rivers, and climate) as well as human-made features (like cities, roads, and cultural landscapes).
* Geology focuses on the composition, structure, and history of the Earth's crust and its internal processes.
* Cartography is the science of mapmaking.
While other disciplines like geology and cartography play a role in understanding Earth's surface, geography provides the most comprehensive and integrated study of it.
