Geography is the study of Earth's surface, places, and the relationship between people and their environments. Maps are tools that show locations, distances, and features of Earth on a flat surface. A map key (or legend) explains the symbols, and a compass rose shows directions (North, South, East, West). Geographers study landforms (mountains, rivers, plains), climates, and how humans interact with the land. Geography helps us understand where things are and why!
