Question
Geography is dynamic in nature.
✓
Answer
Most geographical phenomena whether physical or human are not static and can change overtime.
In economic geography, we study economic activities as well as factors affecting their distribution and changes.
In climatology we study changes in temperature and rainfall due to global warming. Depending upon the changes in climate, changes are made in cropping patterns.
Geographers study relationship between production, distribution and geographical factors.
For example, tea is grown on a large scale in the State of Assam due to high temperature, heavy rainfall, red soil, hilly relief, cheaper water transportation due to the Brahmaputra River and cheap and skilled labour supply from nearby States of Bihar and Orissa.
We study weather over a period of about 30 years and decide climate of that place or population of a country or the world over a period of time. Since, changes occur time to time. Thus, geography is dynamic in nature.
