<h3><u>Answer:</u> </h3>
  • The traditional definition of Geography comes from the "Greek" term 'Geographia' as coined by the father of Geography, Eratosthenes. It defines Geography as 'description of the Earth' ('Geo' meaning Earth, and 'graphia' meaning description).
  • The current standard definition of Geography is a science which deals with the 'description', 'distribution', and 'interaction of the diverse physical', 'biological', and "cultural features" of the "earth's surface".
<h3><u>Explanation:</u> </h3>
  • Not all the sub-disciplines of Geography were discovered in ancient times and thus, the scope of the study was limited.
  • Later, as the applications of Geography started coming to light, sub-disciplines in the larger discipline of Geography were discovered and thus the definition conventionally kept changing to broadly include the newly discovered applications of Geography.

The flag shown represents Quebec's Independence Movement. Who would MOST LIKELY support this movement?
alexgriva [62]

The correct answer is - D) a French speaking Catholic member of the Parti Quebecois.

Quebec is one of the Canadian states. It has a long tradition of being a separatist state, and that it wants independence. It is the only one of the Canadian states that has a majority population that has French roots, and that is the biggest reason why it wants independence, because the culture and background of the majority is not as in the other Canadian states. It has its own separatist parties, and one of them is the Parti Quebecois.
