    Geography is the study of Earth's surface and its interrelationships with physical, climate, location, and human factors. An atlas contains maps and additional information like tables, charts, graphs, photos, and diagrams focused on specific topics like economics or transportation. Maps include essential elements like a title describing what is shown, a legend explaining map information, a scale ratio between map distances and reality, and a compass rose indicating directions and bearings. Common map types are outline, political, physical, relief, and topographic maps.
