Geography is mainly a chorological (from the Greek chronologia) science, which means that it deals with the laws of geo-systems’ space ordering. Those systems are meant by geo-systems which form in the contact area of the consistent crust (lithosphere), water (hydrosphere) and wildlife (biosphere) as a result of the interaction between social and natural processes.
The disciplines of geography toolbar assists in the teaching of the different fields without attempting to be comprehensive. Apart from the major disciplines (physical geography, economics of geological prospecting) certain subdisciplines have appeared. Geography therefore is the only representative of numerous natural and social sciences in public education.
