Geography is not just learning maps, it a broader concept. Like the kind of vegetation, rocks, minerals etc. found in a specific area and why and how are they formed. How a particular region looked like in the past, why it looks like it does at the present. Weather conditions. Why a particular weather happens at a particular time.

Studying geography helps us to have an awareness of a place. All places and spaces have a history behind them, shaped by humans, earth, and climate. Studying geography gives a meaning and awareness to places and spaces. It also helps students with spatial awareness on the globe. That’s why you should study geography.
