Geography is the study of the earth's surface. It helps us to know and understand the planet on which we live. Geographers are interested in the earth's physical features as well as the distribution of plants, animals and humans.
Geographers use techniques such as observation, surveying, analysis and mapping.
And they learn how all of these things relate to one another. We have designed this interactive, multimedia program to be an introduction to the Geography of Ohio. No single source, however, will tell you everything that you might want to know about Ohio's geography, and this program is no exception. Therefore, you may want to consult some other sources after using this program. This is especially true if you are writing a paper or report, or if you are preparing for a talk.
