Some models are mathematical, but a _87_ does not have to have equations (方程) or even diagrams; the _88_ requirement is no doubt that it _89_ an insight (洞察) into the relationships that determine _90_ something works as it does or how it is put together.71.

But they also _72_ beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a _73_ The word geography _74_ from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein, _75_ means “to write.” The English word geography means “to describe the earth.” _76_ geography books focus on a small area _77_ a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an _78_ continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another _79_ to divide the study of _80_ is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the _81_ starts with human beings and _82_ how human beings and their environment act _83_ each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, _84_ branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described _85_ one who observes, records, and explains the _86_ between places.
