Geography can be described as the analysis of the earth and its physical features, its inhabitants, and phenomena. More precisely you can define it as the science, which describes or writes about the Earth. Eratostenes (276-194 BC) was the first person to coin the word geography.
Geography has four historical traditions when we talk about GEOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH:
The Spatial Analysis (of natural and human phenomena)
Area of Studies (places and regions)
Study of Man-Earth Relationship
Research in Earth Sciences

Although modern geography is a discipline that in reality looks to understand the Earth and all of its human and physical complexities (not only locating them but trying to understand how they have changed and why they changed). Geography is divided in two major branches: Human Geography and Physical Geography (making a bridge between human and physical sciences)
