Answer to Problem 1FQ

A geographer stands out as a major key to solving any problem at any location in the Earth and space. A sound knowledge on other sciences and the relationship with each other enable a geographer to be logically chosen as an impartial coordinator and organizer of the work of other scientists.

Explanation of Solution

Geography engages several subdivisions that are connected with other disciplines. The other desciplines may be linked to geography directly or indirectly. Geographers usually propose their own distinctive viewpoints and attitudes to these areas of study.

As they possess a decent knowledge in other disciplines of science and also know the way each one is related to one another, they could be rationally considered as unprejudiced coordinators and organizers for the work of other scientists.
