Is geography a pure social science or pure natural science?
It's a social science, but incorporates much of the natural sciences and is often considered a holistic science. By most contemporary definitions geography is the study of processes that connect a phenomenon to a spatial element on earth as they relate to the human experience. The human experience part makes it a social science, but the phenomenon can be natural (physical or biological) or social. Some geographers lean more heavily towards the natural sciences than others. For example in remote sensing, environmental ecology, pedology, geomorphology and climatology. But, within geography these subfields eventually will lead back to social sciences because the reason for studying these topics somehow impacts humans. When these topics are studied without an interest in humanity they tend fall more in the natural/physical sciences such as biology, geology, or computer science/engineering than geography.

Why is geography considered a social science?
It's is science but it's not accurate because physical aspects are not the only things to be considered in the division of territories. Certain issues such as cultural, historical and even political aspects need to be considered. Geography is not 100% scientifically accurate.

How would you defend the proposition that economics is a true science?
Economics uses empirical models driven by mathematical tools and statistical data to reach objective, positive conclusions. When economics makes normative conclusions, all normative conclusions are not subjective in morality but use efficiency (as in other applied sciences) as the right outcome. In economics, as opposed to other social sciences, general, well-defined answers can be formulated and experimented on, like the physical sciences.
