geográficos

Geográficos is the Spanish adjective meaning related to geography. It agrees with gender and number as geográfico (masculine singular), geográfica (feminine singular), geográficos (masculine plural) and geográficas (feminine plural). It is used to describe attributes, phenomena or data tied to the Earth’s surfaces and their spatial relationships, including natural features such as relief, climate, and hydrography, as well as human aspects like population distribution, land use and territorial organization.

In use, it appears in expressions such as mapas geográficos, límites geográficos, regiones geográficas, datos geográficos and análisis geográficos, as well as in phrases like información geográfica. The term is common across disciplines including geography, cartography, urban planning, environmental studies and geographic information systems (GIS). It is often contrasted with geológico, which relates to geology, or geopolítico, which concerns geopolitics, to distinguish between physical Earth processes and spatial political phenomena.

Etymologically, geográficos derives from geografía, the science of describing the Earth, which in turn comes from Greek ge "earth" and graphein "to write" or "to describe." The scope of the term encompasses both natural features (relief, clima, hidrografía) and human geography (población, usos del suelo, organización territorial), reflecting the central idea of describing and analyzing the Earth’s surfaces and their spatial relationships.
