study of the human past. History can also mean the period of time after writing was invented. Scholars
who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine
and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of
cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This
includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing
"perspective" on the problems of the present.The stories common to a particular culture, but not
supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as
cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.Events
of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory.
Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία - geographia, lit. "earth describe-write"[1]) is the science that
deals with the study of the Earth and its lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena.[2] A literal
translation would be "to describe or write about the Earth". The first person to use the word
"geography" was Eratosthenes (276-194 B.C.). Four historical traditions in geographical research are
the spatial analysis of natural and human phenomena (geography as a study of distribution), area
studies (places and regions), study of man-land relationship, and research in earth sciences.[3]
Nonetheless, modern geography is an all-encompassing discipline that foremost seeks to understand the
Earth and all of its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they have
changed and come to be. Geography has been called 'the world discipline'.[4] As "the bridge between
the human and physical sciences," geography is divided into two main branches—human geography
and physical geography.
Geology (from the Greek γῆ, gê, "earth" and λόγος, logos, "study") is the science and study of the solid
Earth and the processes by which it is shaped and changed. Geology provides primary evidence for
plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates. In modern times, geology is
commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, is publicly important for predicting
and understanding natural hazards, plays an essential role in geotechnical engineering, and is a major
academic discipline.
