<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.

Why is the outer core the only layer in earth that is molten? the temperature is high enough but pressure low enough to melt iro
Margarita [4]
The appropriate answer is a. the temperature is high enough but pressure low enough to melt iron. The earth's core is composed of two layers; the inner and outer core. Both layers are composed mainly of iron and nickel. The main difference between the two layers is that the inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid. The inner core is solid because of the pressure created by the overlaying layers; the outer core, mantle and the crust. The inner core is however hotter than the outer core.
