Geography is "the study of the physical features of the Earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these." [1]

As a subject it can generally be divided into two major components; physical geography, concerning Earth system processes, and human geography, concerning human activities across the Earth. There is a large degree of overlap between these two, and geography is regarded as the subject that bridges the arts and the sciences.
