How is geography like science?

Answer 1

Geography as a discipline can be split into two fields, Human Geography and Physical Geography. The first relates to how space is created, viewed and managed and the second relates to how climate, vegatation, life, soil, water and landforms are produced and interact. A subfield has emerged known as Environmental geography which combines human and physical geography

Answer 2

Geography is like science because many of the questions that geographers ask deal with how the world works for example : they want to know what causes mountains to form etc. to answer questions like these, geographers have to think and act like scientists. As scientists, geographers look at data or information that they gather about places. Like other scientists, geographers must examine their findings just like you do in science :) Information from Eastern Hemisphere textbook by Christopher L. Salter

Answer 3

Geography is like science in that it involves observing, classifying, and understanding patterns and relationships in the natural world. Both disciplines use systematic methods to gather data, analyze information, and draw conclusions about the physical and human environment. Geographic research often involves testing hypotheses and theories to explain spatial phenomena, similar to the scientific method used in other disciplines.
