地理史
外表
地理史係一門歷史,專講由古至今人點做地理,人點去理解地球本身,地球同人關係。窄啲來講,地上面有山川水土,以及出海航行睇到乜,以及各地風土人情咁。人收集呢啲料,編成地理誌,畫成輿圖。而地理之中,地圖學尤其代表。
中國遠古地理,有山海經。或者遠古留落來,文字太過難解。之後有禹貢,分九州,錄入書經入便。而地理呢個名,地好似石上文理一樣,有所依循,出自孔丘注易經周易,亦即繫辭。
| 「 | 仰以觀於天文、俯以察於地理。 |
」 |

西方各國,都會用希臘文描寫土地,γεωγραφία來講地理[2]。隨住亞歷山大大帝遠征,催生出理解地理需要,而描寫土地叫法,愛拉托散尼第一個用呢個字。而地圖就一直用圓盤形來描述世界。
咁唔同文化,唔同政治羣體之間,地理各有種種睇法。

現代科技可以用衞星影像來睇通地球。
