WHY DO WE STUDY GEOGRAPHY..... ?


                The most important reason why one should study geography is to understand the planet on which we live on a little more better than we know it. For example we cannot go to a country without knowing the language of that country , their culture , their currency ,where the country is situated, e.t.c . for we  may get lost in such an unknown  place,  geography provides us with all the information regarding any country, its currency ,language, dressing, states , population , weather conditions,and many other factors, thus making it easier for us to travel to any part of the world.


                During natural calamities geography helps us is knowing the main reasons for its occurrence, the consequences of the disaster, preventive measures , e.t.c. for any particular calamity. This information helps us to be prepared for natural calamities whenever it may occur. Thus helping us to keep our self protected and safe.

               A person who studies geography is called a Geographer . A Geographer studies geography to make us aware of everything happening on our planet which effects us, they provide us with all the information which is necessary for us human beings to know, so that we can make the earth a safer place to live in . Like the study of global warming made us aware that we should not waste our resources as they are becoming scarce , without geography we would have not known about global warming and used all the resources very carelessly, and even used chemicals which are harmful for the planet, which would indeed lead us into some  grave problems affecting humans, wild life and the bio-diversity.

             Because of the study of geography, geographers can solve many environmental problems.They can plan for the further, which would in turn lead us into a better tomorrow, as it can educate people to use resources carefully. Geography teaches us to be more environmentally friendly.
