Geography is the study (tutkimus) of the physical (fyysinen) properties (ominaisuus) of the earth (maa) and its atmosphere (ilmakehä), and of human activity (ihmistoiminta) as it affects (vaikuttaa) and is affected (saada vaikutteita) by these.
This article is pretty limited in its scope, as it focuses mainly on the earth’s physical structure and substance. We also have articles on earth, water and sky vocabulary, and space and planets.
