Geography: (from Greek γεωγραφία, geographia, lit. "earth describe-write") is the science that studies the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of the Earth. A literal translation would be "to describe or write about the Earth."
Geography: A science that deals with the description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth's surface
Lyrics:
Location is the first theme;
Guess you know it's true.
Absolute or relative,
latitude or longitude
Place will be our second theme,
Always on my mind.
Physical or human,
Describe what you will find
(CHORUS)
5 themes, 5 themes, 5 themes, 5 themes I ain't got nothin' but 5 themes,
of geography!
Human-environment interaction
Regions, movement,
location and place!
Next I'll mention movement,
that's what I will do.
How people, goods, ideas get from there to you?
Regions are for comparing,
this place and that.
What language do they speak there?
Is it mountainous or flat?
CHORUS
The last theme is the longest,
we call it HEI.
It's how people affect their region,
and how they've learned to survive.
CHORUS
Human-environment interaction
Regions, movement
location and place!
