Physical Geography what is it, really,...maps, volcanoes, glaciers, tsunamis, global warming, erosion, ...sure it is... but its much more than that, these are processes that have shaped and changed the face of the earth. This is important because this continues to happen today in front of our very eyes!. All of these forces that have shaped the planet we live on and as our home we need to aware of them some of it has taken hundreds of millions of years, some have happened in a few mere seconds or minutes. Before we can really define Physical Geography we need to define what geography is and what is a geographic perspective
