What is this Subject?

Geography is the study of the Earth and how it is affected by humans. It equips students to examine natural and human phenomena, how and why they change, their interconnections and the patterns they form across the Earth’s surface. In doing so, students develop a better understanding of their own place and its spaces and those in other parts of the world. In VCE Geography students investigate hazards and disasters, tourism, changing the land and human population.
