hey here we are at the Museum of Science
in Boston science is a subject that’s
closely related to a subject that’s
familiar to all of us geography as the
world sees the rise of the Sun in the
start of a new day the people of the
world connect in a way the post nature
in perfect balance as the people speak
common tongues we are able to connect in
the spreading of ideas and knowledge
technology further advances us to
connect within days through trading
transportation and communication however
one element is there to connect all
these aspects of society geography so
the question arises what is geography
geography is more than just a subject
rather it is the term to describe the
world and its many happenings geography
connects the lives of many for the
changes in one part of the world we mean
a new beginning for another part of the
world by understanding the world around
us we may realize a way to solve the
problems and strive for a better future
