 Geography is all around us.
Geography is an integrated,
interdisciplinary subject. In
the ancient period geography
was treated as a spatial
science. But now a days the
circumpherence of
geography is enlarged. As a
example we can say that
in geography we can
include the violence
against woman as social
pathology . Hence it is
relevant to discuss its
relationship with other
subjects.
 WHAT IS
GEOGRAPHY ?
The study of
the earth and
its features
and of the
distribution of
the life on the
earth,
including
human life
and effects of
human
activity.

Understand the spatial

relationships of humans to their
natural world.

Understand the types of

human activity in an
area in relation to

OTHER DICIPLINCES
 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GEOGRAPHY AND
HISTORY :
According to Herodotus All
history must be treated as
geographically and all
geography must be treated
as historically.

If we talk about the ancient

civilizations we can found that
all the civilizations were
established along the
geographical features like river,
lake, pond, coastline etc. to
achieve its benefits.

Darwin
to biology. According to Charles
Darwin, origin of the species Finch

selection that indicates in a
suitable natural and geographical
area a plant or animal species can

of Finch bird.
As a branch of geography
Bio-geography deals with
biology.

At present Geography is
becoming more
independent with Computer
Science.
Without having the

very difficult to prepare any
