Explanation:

To fill in the blank, we analyze the context. The sentence is about the study of Earth's land, water, and climate. The root "phys" (from "physical") makes sense here as "physical geography" is the study of Earth's physical features like land, water, and climate. "Psych" relates to the mind (psychology) and "path" relates to disease (pathology), which don't fit.

Answer:

phys (to form "physical" as in "physical geography")
