Physical Geography, or Physiography, is the science which treats of the surface of theE arth and the manner in which if has been changed by the forces of nature.

As considered in this volume, Physical Geography is embraced under the following divisions: .I. The Earth Regarded as a Planet. II. The Structure andF ormation of theE arth. III. The Land. IV. The Water. V. The Atmosphere and its Phenomena; or, Meteorology. VI. The Distribution of Life.
