Well in a way, geography can be about science. For example, The different climates of different countries can relate to the sun which is science. But then again, science can not be about geography. So I guess it's all about how you think about it.

Well, the -aphy implies an artistic field, like calligraphy and photography.
But when it comes to Geography, especially with map making and sorts, it's such a precise practice that it could be considered scientific smile
Especially because there's not really anything artistic about geography.
It's just about the facts.

Well there is also a lot of science involved in HOW those features form, and scientifically determining how they will continue to form over time.
