Geography

"Geography is a subject which holds the key to our future." - Michael Palin

What is Geography?


Geography is unique in bridging the social sciences and natural sciences. Find out what makes our discipline essential in understanding the world in which we live.

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time.

Iceland Is Growing 5 Centimeters Per Year

Mauna Kea Is Taller Than Everest

Mount Everest may be the tallest mountain above sea level, but when it comes to the tallest mountain on earth, that honor goes to Mauna Kea. Above the sea, Mauna Kea only stands 13,796 feet in height. But when you follow the mountain to its base at the bottom of the Pacific, it's 32,808 feet — more than 3,000 feet taller than Everest.

Mexico City Is Sinking

Originally built on a lake in 1325 A.D., Mexico City is currently sinking by about 3.2 feet per year. The Aztecs filled in Lago de Texcoco to create an artificial island, and the Spaniards created a second location atop the ruins in 1521. Because the majority of locals rely on water extracted from the aquifer below the city, it's dropped a total of 32 feet over the last 60 years!

Sudan Has More Ancient Pyramids than Egypt

Egypt's Pyramids of Giza may be considered one of the wonders of the world, but Sudan has nearly twice the number of pyramids. Sudan touts 200-255 known pyramids, built for the Kushite kingdoms of Nubia, compared to Egypt's relatively paltry 138 pyramids. Within the Sahara, you can still visit the ancient and reconstructed pyramids of Meroe.
