Have you ever been told "Go east and then go west"? If you don't know geographical directions... how would you know how to go a specific way?
Believe me, I get lost all the time, because my sense of direction is so horrible. East HWY 90, West Hwy 10, And then I hear "Go NORTH on BWY 8" and I'm like 'It only says West or East... which one would be NORTH?'
If you don't wanna get lost like I do, constantly... Don't fall asleep in your geography class, okay?

Ask Katrina survivors. When that horrible storm was quickly approaching, many used their knowledge of geography of the Southern USA to evacuate to Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama.

So...you don't look like stupid when your friends or your superior or teacher are talking about a war in azerbaijin or a political crises in Malawi, and you need to write a work or column about it....at least you know where it is.
Because knowledge is never too much, and doesn't take space.
There is no physical use, only intellectual.

Simple example.
You want to travel from the city you live in to a neighboring town to visit some friends. How long will it take you to get there? How much fuel will be required? Will you require different clothing because the weather is different? Etc...

Physical changes in the earths surface can change the way you live ex. The ice caps in the north and south pole melt and could flood where you live.

It helps if you find yourself on a televised beauty pageant and get asked why people can't read maps.
