Geography (from Ancient Greek γεωγραφία geōgraphía; combining gê 'Earth' and gráphō 'write') is the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth. [1] Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also ...
Geography (Greek Geo (γη) or Gaea (γαία), meaning "Earth", and graphein (γράφειν) meaning "to describe" or "to write") is the study of the earth and its features, inhabitants, and phenomena. A literal translation would be "to describe or write about the Earth".
an academic discipline – a body of knowledge given to − or received by − a disciple (student); a branch or sphere of knowledge, or field of study, that an individual has chosen to specialize in.

In the above figure, P 1 has a winning strategy as follows: N 1 points only to nodes N 2 and N 3. Thus P 1 's first move must be one of these two choices. P 1 chooses N 2 (if P 1 chooses N 3, then P 2 will choose N 9 as that is the only option and P 1 will lose). Next P 2 chooses N 4 because it is the only remaining choice. P 1 now chooses N 5 ...

It uses techniques from spatial analysis , but also encompasses geographical activities such as the defining and naming of geographical regions for statistical purposes.

[1] [2] The quantitative revolution occurred during the 1950s and 1960s and marked a rapid change in the method behind geographical research, from regional geography into a spatial science.
The key GML geometry object types in GML 1.0 and GML 2.0, are the following: Point; LineString; Polygon; GML 3.0 and higher also includes structures to describe "coverage" information, the "raster" model, such as gathered via remote sensors and images, including most satellite data.
