Geography deals with the world we live in - a world rich in cultural diversity and natural beauty, but plagued by human misery and threatened by environmental degradation. Geography is the study of the interaction off all human and physical phenomena on the earth's surface and of how interactions among places form patterns and organise space. Geography is an anthropocentric science and geographers study phenomena on the earth's surface from a space in time perspective. Geography is, amongst others, concerned with the environmental problems which affect our daily lives, our future existence, our quality of life and the quality of our environment. It involves both the human and the natural sciences and studies the relationship between humans and their environment. Geography aims at making a better world for all - a world free of pollution, erosion, poverty and famine

It is home to lots of beautiful plants, very special animals, and lots and lots of gold and diamonds! In fact, South Africa is most famous for the gold and diamonds mined there. In 1867, a young boy named Erasmus Jacobs was playing along the Orange River near his father's farm in South Africa when he discovered an odd-looking stone that was completely clear. He wasn't sure what he had foundbut it didn't take long for his neighbors to learn the clear stone Erasmus found was a diamondone of the prettiest and most valuable gems in the world! Erasmus' discovery brought thousands and thousands of diamond hunters into northern South Africa. Within just a few years, there were more diamonds discovered in South Africa than were discovered in all of India (another diamond-producing country) for the last 2,000 years! It is very easy to see why many people from all over the world wanted to move to South Africawhich they did.

COUNTRY STUDIES South Africa - GEOGRAPHY South Africa - Geography South Africa South Africa forms a distinct region, or subcontinent, divided from the rest of Africa by the rivers that mark its northern border. In the northwest, the Orange River cuts through the Namib Desert and divides South Africa from Namibia. In the east, the Limpopo River traverses large areas of arid grassland along the common border with Zimbabwe and southeastern Botswana. Between these two, the Molopo River winds through the southern basin of the Kalahari Desert, also dividing South Africa from Botswana. Populations have moved across these rivers almost continuously over the centuries, but, in general, the northern border region of South Africa is sparsely populated. The geological substratum of the subcontinent was formed at least 3.8 billion years ago, according to geologists, and most of the country's natural features evolved into their present form more than 200 million years ago. Especially since the early twentieth-century writings of Alfred Wegener, geologists have hypothesized that South Africa was once part of a large land mass, now known as Gondwana, or Gondwanaland, that slowly fractured along the African coastline millions of years ago. Theories of such a supercontinent are bolstered by geological continuities and mineral similarities between South Africa and South America, by fossil similarities between South Africa and the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar, and by the sharp escarpments, or geological fractures, that encircle most of southern Africa near the coast.
