Geography
Geography is the study of the physical features of the Earth, which includes cities, forests, mountains, oceans and rivers. The term "Geography" is derived from the Greek words "Geo" meaning "earth" and "Graphia" meaning "to write or describe", emphasizing the descriptive nature of this field of study. Below you can find all kinds of interesting places on our dear planet Earth to visit. To make it easier to find them, the places are categorized per district.
