In the form of geography, the word literally means 'round earth', in fact this word is the only identity of the earth's quality, not the actual boundaries of the entire geography. it is the word of the English language which consists two words, namely GEO+GRAPHY, which means 'description of the earth'.
This term is also incomplete in clarifying the meaning of the whole study area of geography, because the actual purpose of geography can not be achieved by merely describing the earth.
It has been recognized by the various scholars since ancient times as a science under which including the description of the life of the inhabitants of different countries, the study of mainstream shapes and various actions such as volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal bouts etc. are also included.
With the change of time, the entire geographical study has been removed from the study of the whole earth in the present century and all the posts of human welfare have been included. Even the original meaning of geography - rather than the 'description of the earth', Analytical work is also being done.
