Difference between “geographical” and “geological” for my 11-year-old daughter.
In: Other
Geography is the surface of the earth, everything attached to it, and it’s mainly concerned with where everything is in relationship to each other.
Geology is everything under the surface, and how it came to be and how it’s going to behave. It’s relevant to geography because it causes the surface features geography is concerned with.
Geography is primarily interested in a single point in time. You might talk about geography today, or millions of years ago. Geology is primarily interested in changes over time. The position and composition of the earth’s crust changed over time, and that meant that the geography of millions of years ago changed into the geography of today.
