What is the study of climate, water, land, and their relationships with each other and humans, including locating and identifying the Earth’s surface features?

• A. Physical geography
• B. Geology
• C. Cartography
• D. Ecology

Answer: (A)

The study described is physical geography. It focuses on the Earth's natural features—climate, water, and land—and how they interact with each other and with people. It also covers locating and describing where those features are on the Earth's surface, using maps and spatial understanding to connect natural processes with human activities.

Geology is about the Earth’s materials and internal processes, cartography centers on map-making, and ecology looks at living organisms and their environments. The emphasis on climate, water, land, and human relationships, along with identifying surface features, makes physical geography the best fit.
