  • Geography: Exploring Earth's Land and Water - Definition & Branches
    The study of land masses and water bodies is called Geography.

    While the term "geography" is often associated with maps and locations, it's actually a much broader discipline that encompasses:

    * Physical Geography: This branch focuses on the natural features of the Earth, including:

    * Landforms (mountains, valleys, plains, etc.)

    * Climate

    * Water bodies (oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.)

    * Soils

    * Vegetation

    * Human Geography: This branch examines the interaction between humans and their environment, including:

    * Population distribution and dynamics

    * Culture and society

    * Economic activities

    * Political systems

    * Urban development

    So, geography is essentially the study of the Earth's surface, including its physical features and the human activities that take place on it.
