In other cultures, this may include computer usage as well as reading and mathematics. How we go about teaching the children varies as well, from formal curriculums defined by the countries' leaders to parents teaching their own children. Geography Geography is the study of the physical nature of the Earth and the life, plant and animal, on it. Geography is the science that deals with the distribution and arrangement of all elements of the earth's surface. The ancient Chinese, Phoenician, and Egyption civilzations began the study of geography by recording the physical features they observed during their explorations.
Geographers use economics, history, biology, geology, and mathematics in their studies.
History History is the study and interpretation of the recorded past. We often think of history as a set of dates, names, and facts to be memorized. Facts do help us study history, but they are nothing more than trivia until we try to make some sense out of them. Thoughtful, informed interpretation and synthesis of these facts will help us understand the development and interrelationships of human societies. History helps us understand many events that at first seem inexplicable, and it also helps us understand that the causes and effects of these events are often very complex.
