Geography is a complex field that bridges the natural and social sciences. It is a branch of science focused on understanding where phenomena are located on or near the earth's surface, how they got there, where they are going in the future, and why. Geography is the "spatial" science - concerned with place, space, and pattern - and change in pattern over time. At the same time, geographers study processes of change at different scales from global to local.Geography has deep roots in history; it is one of the oldest disciplines in either the social or physical sciences. It was over 2,000 years ago when the word geo-graphy (earth description) was first coined by the Greeks. The ancient Arab scholars who followed the Greeks as lovers of geography called geography the "origin" of the sciences. - Human Geography
