๐ Topic Summary
Geography is more than just maps and places! It's about how the Earth's features, like mountains, rivers, and climate, affect people's lives. For example, people living near rivers might become fishermen, while those in fertile valleys might become farmers. Even the materials we use to build our homes are influenced by the local geography. Understanding this connection helps us appreciate different cultures and how they adapt to their surroundings.
