Geography is in everything, in fact many of you may remember in World Geography how I offer an automatic "A" if someone can think of something that has nothing to do with Geography. Geography for me goes beyone just asking where did something occur but is a scientific inquiry into what factors allowed for things to occur where they do. Good luck creating your own definitions and I look forward to reading them.

Geography- "earth writing". Geography is grandiose. It scales (literally) the entire Earth and asks the simplest questions-where and why? Geography is physical. It's mountains. It's climate. It's boundaries. Geography is human, a strange idea. Geography is money. It's conflict. It's diseases and death (which seems pretty human to me). Geographers study the world, the continents, the regions, the countries, the states, the provinces, the cities, the suburbs, the humans here and the humans there. Geography, in the human sense, studies me and hey, it studies you too.

I agree completely with your definition. You made the point clear that geography really does involve every aspect of our lives. You covered every basic, like physical and human, and added details enough to make sense of that, but not too much that my brain was overloaded with examples of geography. You made geography sound very personal, and I liked that. ---Yourwelcome. (:

I deffinetly agree with everything you put there, but I feel as if you left out many parts. Space is also part of geography too. Geography is also a study in which you learn where and why things happen. There is much more that goes into my two statements to make up geography like black holes are part of space, and as the author talked about hungry people in Kenya that had plenty of arable land is also part of geography.
Becca Wykoff

Your definition really grabbed me, I really love your definition and I feel as though you really put a lot of effort into coming up with it. You covered everything in a very short amount of space, and it all makes sense, good job (:

If you're one that likes questions, geography is your new best friend. Who, what, where, when, and why are the basics of the subject. Its about connecting facts we know to reach an answer that matters to someone, somewhere, for whatever reason. Geography is the study of the earth and how people interact and make sense of it. To me, it is less about mountains and rivers and more about the curiosity we all have about the world that we live in and how it functions. Geography is about figuring out not only locations, but the people in them and realizing the differences and similarities between cultures and places. Its simply a way to connect ourselves to the physical and social world we live in.
Olivia Ness

I definitely agree with your answer. I also believe that geography is more than just landscape and mountains but also humans and their movement, environment, and interactions. Job well done:)

Geography pertains to location, area, territory, pattern, and distrubution. All features of Earth apply whether it be human or physical, where they are, why they are there and the importance of the feature. Much of geography deals with what relationship things have with others. Like what group it is associated with or what culture it is. Geography is a way to organize anything and everything of the world.
Tara
8/16/2012 10:15:33 am
I completely agree with your definition of geography. I like how you said geography is a way to organize everything of the world which sums it up in one sentence I think. we organize the earth into continents then countries then states, provinces, and we organize people by their culture. your definition shows how we define the earth.
Brenda Guido

Geography is more than just land features such as rivers, mountains, and forests. Geography to me is how diseases, culture, and language work around the world. How trade occurs over different areas and how the countries maintain their economy and government. The major questions though that are a major part of Geography is why, where, and who cares. These questions help us understand the true meaning of how many processes that occur around the worl function. Geography also helps you understand how people live and how they interact with each other and their culture. Geography plays a major role in human life.
Monica Humphrey

I really like how you listed all the different types of things that make up geography and how movement, culture, and language make up a big part of geography. I also like how you included the questions why, where, and who cares. You added good detail in your definition:)
Erin O'Laughlin
8/16/2012 10:23:50 am
This is one of my favorite definitions because it covers everything- how geography connects to all aspects of the world and why it is important. I especially liked "Geography also helps you understand how people live and how they interact with each other and their culture" because it sums it all up in one sentence. Good job!:)
MacKinnon Tracy

Geography may have many different meanings around the world. What does it mean to me? In my mind it means that it affects everything in the world. From places being physical geography and culture learning about different people and religious activities. To me geography is everythingnthat takes up space.
Taylor Chlebowski
8/16/2012 09:08:29 am
I completely agree with the way you said it affects everything in the world. However, i don't agree with the fact that geography is everything that takes up space, that is matter.
Raea Barenthin.
8/16/2012 10:41:42 am
I like how you said that their is different meanings around the world because that is true. Geography is diverse so people around the world or even around here's definition may be completely different. I don't agree with how everything takes up space as well because everything in geography has meaning and that statement makes it sound blaaaah..
Daniel Forsythe

Geography incorporates everything into its spectrum. Although, it may be incorporated in a way not commonly associated with the subject of the matter. Everything originated somewhere, and therefore it falls into the wide array of Geography. Why should that matter? Because knowing where something originated can explain why it ended up being popular or unpopular, why it ended up across the world or why it didn't go anywhere. Geography has to do with the very simple things like maps and the land features of Earth. But the way humans put ideas, thoughts, words, goods, and other things in a place different than it originated is part of Geography. Where did it end up, where did it start, why did it start, why did it go wherever it went, and is it important are all questions that pertain to Geography just based on the movement of ideas and goods. And finally, Geography is a method, it is a way of analyzing. Whereas History studies why something happened, Geography studies why something happened in that particular spot.
Brenda
8/16/2012 08:04:54 am
I liked how your definition of Geography is beyond my perspective. I found it interesting how you said, "Geography has to do with the very simple things like maps and the land features of Earth". But then described it beyond how simple it can be such as how it originated and the way ideas and goods invole in movement. Your definition of Geography is very intersting and it moves in the way of knowing that there is more to Geography than just the simple idea of land features.
CJ Kowalski
8/16/2012 09:57:56 am
I agree with your statement of geography entails alot of things that have to do with the world and its matters. The part where geography can be used to answer question people have about how things work or why they happen in that specific area of the world is a very nice touch. Now the part I enjoy most is the definition of geography being a method of analyzing.
Luke Ketterer
8/16/2012 10:10:12 am
Great definiton, this explanation of geography has great detail and really explains what geography is. I especially like how you include that geography tells where did it end up, where did it start, and why did it start, all very important questions.

What geography literally translates into is "earth writing." what it means to me is more than just what other people define as "just boundaries, places, land, etc.". That is only partially correct. It also means what is hapening in in the world and why it is happening. Take world hunger for example, if you take the food production of each nation and divide it by the world population, we would have more than enough food to feed everyone a few times over.
Maverick Crowl
8/16/2012 11:58:23 am
i agree with the first part f your answer but I do not think that is affects why things in the world happen that is physics. But I do like your wording and you example
Brianna Anderson
8/15/2012 11:19:13 am
What Geography means to me is a number of different things such as land devoplement, territory, and patterns of human migration/ the regions they have came from. It also tells us how diseases, langage and culture have taveled throughout the world and that's where the questions of Geography come in. Where? Why there? and Who cares? These questions help us understand all the factors that role play in Geography.
Sydney Sales
8/15/2012 11:21:02 am
Geography can be broken up into five themes: location, place, region, human envoirnment interactions, and movement. When literally broken down, it means earth-writing. To me this means everything everywhere on Earth is part of geography. Because there is both human and physical geography, everything from physical features to culture and the spread of disease is included in geography.
Sam Feldt
8/15/2012 11:29:11 am
Geography to me is the study of how humans live and adapt to their surroundings and how they adapt to each other
Larissa Whitaker
8/15/2012 12:16:52 pm
To me, geography is in itself a definition of the world. Geography is an explanation of the world; its people, its land. Geography is a science/study that tries to explain and explore not only land, but the people, what they do and why they do it. Geography encompasses everything on Earth and is a study of culture, language, and religion of people.
Gabbie VanLue
8/16/2012 06:58:22 am
I agree with you Larissa. You covered all the main points, from the human and phyiscal aspects to giving examples of the term Human Geography. Well done! You made it short, simple, yet very informative!
Toree Friedrich
8/16/2012 12:32:16 pm
I completely agree with you Larissa! I like how you didn't just cover the physical part of Geography, you included the human part of it. I love how you didn't make it too long and wordy, but it covered everything that needed to be covered when defining Geography!
CJ Kowalski
8/15/2012 12:25:15 pm
Geography can incorporate many things and above all the definition varies among many people. However I like to think of geography as the study of How things happen and why they happen so often in the absolute location they do. This is where the common definition plays a vital role in answering the questions because alot of the physical features can e responsible for the behavior or occurrences in that formal region.
Alysia Sherwood
8/15/2012 12:42:33 pm
Geography is the science and study of everything in this world. Physically, Geography maps out countries, gives locations, and shows where land elevates or descends in the Earth. That is all most people think that Geography is. However, it is much more than that. Geography explains why everything in the world is the way that it is today. It explains that based on the areas people live in, they create their own cultures, religions, morals, languages, and ideas. Understanding the geography of the world allows people to help advance in all areas of life by learning from what other regions may be trying or have tried to do. Ultimately, Geography is the key to creating a better, more evolved and educated world.
Skye
8/16/2012 07:28:47 am
I agree with "...Geography is the key to creating a better, more evolved and educated world." I like how you stated that everyone could learn from other parts of the world and that people are the way they are because of where they live and the morals that come with that area.
Lexie Fain
8/16/2012 08:14:12 am
I think that you did a really great job showing that geography is just as much about the people as it is the land. The examples and ways of showing this point were also right on and I completely understood the point you were trying to get across here. Advancing the world by learning new things from region to region are also very important to globalization, which is another aspect of geography that is studied, and I agree with your description of it as well. In addition, you did a fantastic job showing how geography will effect the world and in my opinion it is doing exactly that.
Courtney Knotts

The world we live in is filled with geography. Geography is the way humans interact and adapt in their environment, how the environment and its features change by processes made from people, weather, agriculture, and religion. It is the physical features of a place, such as mountains, rivers, and oceans and the cultures of people around the world.
olivia overfield

Lexie Fain
8/15/2012 06:22:09 am
To me geography is not just states, countries, and capitols in which events take place. It is asking the questions that go beyond that. For example, "Why did people decide to settle in this particular place rather than in a similar place with few differences?" I think that the history behind a place goes beyond what you just see and that everything happening around us in the world has some sort of story behind it, so why not look for answers and study to find out why. Geography allows you to do that.
Adriana Barnes
8/16/2012 07:44:02 am
I really liked your definition. Your question "Why did people decide to settle in this particular place rather than in a similar place with few differences?" is so true. Geography is more then just maps and countries, its about the questions and studying to figure out the answers. Your defintion was well thought out i think. i really enjoyed it.
Sydney Sales
8/16/2012 08:38:21 am
I completely agree with your deffinition. I like that you include an example question to back up your statement, and also that you include what history can do and how geography allows you to get deeper into the history and ask questions through geography.
Sarah Staatz
8/15/2012 06:30:26 am
My definition of geography would have to be the study of physical features on Earth and the human characteristics such as, religion, culture and language. By studying geography now, we can understand the way our economy is, the spread of ideas, goods, diseases, other countries cultures and so on.
Ally McLaughlin
8/15/2012 06:51:08 am
My definition of geography would be the study of the land and reatures of the earth as well as how and why people setteled where they did to make civilizations. Also how they traded with other civilizations around them and how they affected the environment around them. I also think a part of geography is the ablity to learn how cultrues from around the same area developed differently than others. It alows you to learn about the past and why and how things happened in a civilization that affect the present way of life.
Kaity Krauth
8/16/2012 08:05:48 am
I particularly liked your definition...it's concise and gets right to the point. I definitely like the emphasis on the trading between civilization and cultures around the same area developing differently. 'Twas a unique point that hadn't occured to me
Grace Retek
8/16/2012 08:45:40 am
I agree with all the different aspects in your definition. I also thought, the examples you gave were well explained and had a good point.
Larissa Whitaker
8/16/2012 11:03:21 am
Ally, I agree with your definition. I liked how you thought beyond the basic and incorporated ideas of how geography learns not only about cultures, but goes further into it with how different cultures come about and interact and influence each other and why cultures from the same area developed differently. I especially agree with the final sentence in your definition, it was great and an interesting way to analyze geography.
Kaity Krauth
8/15/2012 07:08:04 am
Geography is the study of Earth's physical features and the way humans interact with them. The physical landscape of Earth is pretty much irrelevant unless we study the people that who have settled there. Geography focuses on these people and their interactions with their environment. Geography is the study of demographics, culture, language, religion and how these elements of humanity have been influenced by where people happen to be on the landscape of Earth.
Harper Boyd
8/16/2012 10:15:02 am
I really like your definition of Geography here. You're straight up and to the point saying that geography isn't just phsical, but also has to deal with human interaction.
Cody Strauch
8/15/2012 07:22:17 am
Geography to me is the study of earth and everything that involves it. Getting to know the landscape of the earth and all of the landscapes that there is. Geography all so is the study of humans and their cultures, religions, and how they interact with the earth.
Bradey Schweizer
8/16/2012 11:31:51 am
I totally agree with you that geography involves everything on the globe. Your definition really tells everything that needs to be known about geography and how it effects us as humans living in this world.
Monica Humphrey
8/15/2012 07:29:44 am
Geography is more than just simply stating where something is, but going into depth and asking why it happened, and how it happened. Why things are the way they are today, and how they came to be that way. Geography can deal with the physical features of Earth, such as mountains, bodies of water, and land masses, but also the way humans interact with the environment, and how they affected the earth and why, or how they ended up in the places they are and what they do there.
Sara Winscher
8/16/2012 11:11:27 am
I like your definition, Monica! It really sums up everything we learned in class so far about geography. It really is SO much more than maps, and land masses!
Grace Retek
8/15/2012 07:41:24 am
Geography studies the earth's physical features, such as cities and landscapes. But it also studies people. Geography tells about people's culture, language, and religion. It also shows us how everything has changed from past to present day.
Quinn Morehouse-Picton
8/15/2012 08:07:23 am
My definition of geography is not only the study of Earth’s physical features like mountains, rivers, and deserts but also the study of human history and the interaction humans had with their environment to make that history happen. Geography asks where?, why there?, and why care? to help us figure out how people’s locations made a difference in how their culture formed while also figuring out how it pertains to or could have an impact on us. Geography also allows us to study other places in the world in a way that can help us to make a “mental map” of them and understand why things that happen there happen.
Amber Carlisle
8/16/2012 08:33:58 am
I liked your definition of geography because you explained clearly why geography isn't just the study of Earth's physical features. You told us how humans interacting with each other and there environment is also a major part of geography.
Maura Romstadt
8/15/2012 08:11:14 am
My definition of geography would be the study of earth and everything around us, also known as "earth writing". I never realized how many things are related to geography. Geography decribes what the land, cultures religions, languages, ect are all about and how things have changed over the years.
Gabbie VanLue
8/15/2012 08:26:41 am
Although there are physical features associated with the term GEOGRAPHY, there are also human features mixed in to the bundle. Geometry asks the questions: "What is Where?, Why there?, and Who Cares? Along with the 5 themes, geography goes deeper than simply mountains, rivers, and other physical features. It involves culture, religion, different languages and how the people associated with those aspects interact with their environment. A key to understanding geography is to think spatially, understanding that geography also covers space.
Becca Wykoff
8/15/2012 08:45:33 am
Geography is much more than just the countries and the land, geography encompasses the people too. You have to think of the people and ask yourself, "what is there that makes that place a popular city?" or "why do the things in that area draw people's attention?" and finally, you have to ask yourself, "why should we care about these people?" that is what geography is to me
Ally McLaughlin
8/16/2012 10:03:50 am
I liked your definition because you listed questions that i also thought were important parts of geography like the "what is there that makes that place a popular city" question because it makes you think!

i liked your definition and agree knowing you're geography can help you alot with other subjects in school and it will help outside of the classroom. Your idea with the marine biologist was good and that probably applies to almost every job around. I think every student going through should take at least one geography class because it is one of the most practical subjects in school
brianna
8/16/2012 01:48:00 pm

Daniel Forsythe
8/15/2012 09:10:52 am
To me geography is much more than just maps and mountains. There is so much more to learn than just physical features and political maps. Geography can be included in everything in everyday life, from where you are, to how that got here, or how the idea was created. From human culture, to our impact on our environment, geography is everywhere. It makes you think deeper about everything around you.
Alex Suppinger
8/16/2012 10:37:47 am
I like this definition because you say "Geography can be included in everything in everyday life, from where you are, to how that got here, or how the idea was created." I really like this statement because it's a very important part of Geography to me, the fact that Geography can be related to everything based on how it got there or especially how the idea was created.
Conner Scott
8/15/2012 09:24:03 am
Geography is not just about maps and where things are located, even though many people have that misconception. Geography is related to almost everything you could think of. Whether it is about a disease being spread, why people in Jamaica run faster, or even who cares about sports, geography covers it all. I believe geography is the study of anything involving earth and the people that live there.
Harper Boyd
8/15/2012 09:26:47 am
Back in elementary school, we are taught that Geography is just being able to read a map and find a country, or continent, or river. As we get older, that perspective begins to change and we can finally see what geography really is. To me, the definition of Geography is being able to find items on a map, but the definition of Geography also means being able to ask questions about those places on the map. How come in Germany they all have outdoor supermarkets and buy food fresh and daily, but here in America we don't? Geography is just as much about the people living in an areas as being able to find that area. Being able to ask why the Germans do this, who does this pertain to, and who actually cares are the forgotten aspects of Geography, but is still a huge part of what Geography means.
Sydney Beall
8/16/2012 06:55:46 am
I love your introduction into the definition, And all of the example questions you provided. I agree with your definition in that, though we talk about geography being much more than maps and finding landmarks, though that still is a pretty big part of it. plus you go on to talk about the more complex side, which is also very clarifying(:

Geography is not just about maps, latitude and longilitude and of the sort. It is also the studs of human movement, culture, religion, and also the influence humans have on the world. Geography is putting history, mapping, and other types of social dtides into one area of study and creating a whole new subject.
Taylor Chlebowski
8/15/2012 10:08:04 am
To me the definition of geography is not only the study of land features, and maps. It is also the study of how the people of those countries and regions live and interact with their environment. Even further is is the study of their beliefs and religion.
Adriana Barnes
8/15/2012 10:24:28 am
To me geography is more then just maps. Geography can show you how the physical features of the world can affect the human geography. Geography is how things or places on earth affect people all over the world socially, politically, interactions between humans and enviornment, culturaly, and the economics (S.P.I.C.E.). In geography we are able to see why people moved where they moved or why people from different parts of the world are better then other parts of the world. Geography is not just maps and textbooks anymore, its seeing and studying what has lead us to our culture today and how culture was influenced in the past.
Alysia Sherwood
8/16/2012 07:01:36 am
Your definition is one of the best definitions I have read about Geography. I like how you explained by telling what questions about why or where people did things in the past are answered by studying Geography. Using S.P.I.C.E. in your definition also really showed what Geography is all about.
Amber Carlisle
8/15/2012 10:51:54 am
Geography use to mean something different to me. It meant finding something on a map such a country, mountain, or river. But now geography means so much more, its not only the study of physical features. Its also about humans and how they interact with each other and their environment. Humans have learned from the land and from each other. Religion and culture is only a few things humans have passed on to one another. So geography is more than just maps, its also the study of people, cultures, and locations everywhere.
Hannah
8/15/2012 11:14:59 am
The defenition of geography for me would be the study of earth, its features, and how people affect the places that they live. Geography isnt all about memorizing maps which most people come to the conclusion that it is. One example would be how humans effect their enviroment like culture and language. Geography has come to be a lot more thn just maps its everthting that surrounds us.
Toree
8/15/2012 11:41:34 am
To me, geography affects everything in the world. Physical geography being land features, maps, and boundaries. Human geography being the culture, religion, and language of the world. Its about how humans interact with the world around them.
Tara
8/15/2012 11:59:50 am
To me, geography is anything and everything that has to do with our planet. From studying a whole country's common characteristics to simply the dirt we walk on, in a sense its all geography. Geography literally translates to Earth writin, which means anything written about our Earth, is geography. Culture, people, land, water, regions are all a major part. Human geography is a large part of geography and there are many other parts. Geography is everywhere and even without knowing, we have always taken part in studying it.
Kloee
8/16/2012 10:25:35 am
I like the ending where you said "Geography is everywhere and even without knowing it we have always taken part in studying it." I agree that people, water, land and culture are a major part, I really liked this definition.
Kloee Bierwagen

To me Geography is the platform of everything on Earth. Geography covers it all, the physical aspect of the Earth and how humans adapt with one another in their environments. By taking World Geography last year and Human Geography this year it really makes me see that geography is not all about maps and the land. There is so much more for me to learn!
Hannah Mahlka
8/16/2012 11:26:35 am
I defenitely agree with you Sara, geography has a lot to do with how we as humans adapt with one another in our enviroments. It also is how our world is constantly changing and how we change it every day.
Jalyn Fites
8/15/2012 12:57:05 pm
The difinition of geography varies among other people. In class we were taught that geography means 'Earth Writing' but that doesn't even come close to summing it up. Geography is more than just maps and landmarks. Geography is made up of location, people, culture, religions and more. For places to be found and have a greater meaning first people had to go to these places and have their cultures influenced on the lands. Geography is more complex than just maps.

To me, geography covers everything on Earth location-wise. Physical features are just the tip of the iceberg, figuratively. It also includes the life of the areas, meaning just about everything: culture, people, traditions, and all other aspects of the land.

The definition of geography to me would be that geography is pretty much everything. There are five themes to geography. They are location, place, region, human environment interaction and the movement of people, goods and ideas. Geography isn't just maps, but also how human life affects the earth.

I think geography is the study of everything around us. Geography incorporates a little bit of everything, geography is not just the study of maps. It also includes people and there culture, traditions, and and all other parts of the land

I totally agree with your definition. You went strait to the point and defined geography. Not only did I enjoy your definition due to its simplicity, I enjoy it because that is exactly what I believe geography is.

I liked your definition the best because it is as simple as it gets. Geography is very complex but your definition covered all the aspects that it is made up by.

I have to agree with Olivia Ness' definition of geography the most. Geography is not just the simple study of maps and physical features on Earth, like she mentioned, but it also has to deal with the movement of people, the location of people, how they interact with the environment, and what region and how it is like there. I like her definition because i feel that people tend to view geography as more of a physical instead of a human feature.

My definition of geography is the study not just of the physical landmarks on earth, but how people interact with them. It also consists of how the environment changes over time by weather, people, and agriculture.

I like Alex Suppinger’s definition of geography because I agree with it and I find it to be close to my definition. That and what I couldn’t figure out how to say was included in it. Geography is like history, only it goes more in depth focusing on where the history happened as well which could also explain why it happened. I too think the movement of ideas and goods is an important part of geography, especially the human aspect of it, because it shows how places have been and are related to each other. I also believe that finding out where and how something originated and where it may or may not have spread can explain why it may or may not have become popular in other sections of the world. 9/25/2012 12:54:05 pm
