Since geography is relates to studying the Earth, and the Earth is continually changing. Nothing on Earth remains in a static position. The only constant on the Earth is change. The rate of things change differs from place to place.
The geographical phenomena, both human and physical, are highly dynamic. They change gradually because of the inter-active processes between ever hanging earth and ever-active and untiring human beings. There subsist changes over the earth’s surface in its physical as well as human and cultural environs.
Many phenomena are similar and several are dissimilar. It is, thus, logical to distinguish geography as the study of a real differentiation. Therefore, geography is supposed to study those phenomena that differ over space. Geographers study the changes/variations/adaptations in the phenomena over the surface of the earth as well as study the relations with the other factors that cause these changes.
For instance, cropping patterns vary from area to area; however this variation in cropping pattern, as a phenomenon, is associated with changes in climates, soils, market demands, and ability of a farmer to invest and technological inputs available to them. Therefore, the concern of geography is to discover the causal connection between any 2 phenomena or between more than one phenomena.
Primitive human societies were directly reliant on their immediate environs. Geography, therefore, is connected with the study of Human and Nature inter-actions as a unified whole. ‘Human is an essential part of ‘nature’ and ‘nature’ has the human imprints. ‘Nature’ has impacted different facets of human life. Its imprints is seen on clothing, food, occupation, and shelter. Human beings have gradually accepted nature by way of adaptation and modification.
