maybe the problem is with the Arabic expression .. if so; it would be more accurate to say:
الإختلافات المساحية لسطح الأرض
Ahmad Hamdy Jun 19, 2011:
Fadoua, can you get us some context please?
Nesrin Jun 17, 2011:
To support Ahmed's answer:
سارع الجغرافيون بتعديل طفيف لهذا التعريف حتى يكون أكثر ملائمة وارتباطاً بالدراسات الجغرافية والذى تمثل فى أن الجغرافيا هى علم الاختلافات المكانية
Areal Differentiation
وهذا يعنى إبراز الاختلافات المكانية فى توزيع ظاهرات بشرية أو طبيعية وبما يؤكد أيضاً العلاقة المتبادلة أو التفاعل بين الإنسان والمسرح الجغرافى

if it is not geography itself .. then more text shall be needed
Heba Salah Jun 17, 2011:
do you mean that it is something like "topography"?
Fadoua Abida (asker) Jun 17, 2011:
Thanks Hiba.. I was going ot translate it as it is like you did but I think there is a specific term for this branch of geography in English?

the areal differentiation of the earth's surface

This is part of the definition of geography, it is not particularly a branch of geography.

If you look the phrase "الاختلافات المكانية على سطح الأرض" and "areal differentiation of the earth's surface", you will find both of them appearing in most definitions of geography. You don't need to translate each of the words individually and come up with a new definition.
