Solution
- Geography is a study of the earth and phenomena related to it. The earth is dynamic with variations in its physical and cultural environments.
- These geographical phenomena, whether physical or human, are not static but highly dynamic. They change over time.
- Geography is also a study of ‘space’ and ‘time’. For example, we study weather over a period of time (roughly 30 years) and decide the climate of a place; the population of India or world over a period of time, development of a landform or the age of the earth are various phenomena which are of interest to a geographer as they are concerned with ‘time’.
- Thus, the study of space and time in Geography makes Geography dynamic in nature.
