Studying Geography

. A social scientist studies the human and physical features that make a place unique.

Geography is the study of the world, its people, and the landscapes they create.

. Some geographers want to know how the world works, while others want to study people and the relationships among people.

Geographers study issues on three levels: the local level, the state level, and the country level.

A region is a part of the world that has one or more common features that distinguish it from surrounding areas.

Maps, globes, and satellite images help geographers study the planet.
