I think the best Geography alternate course options are
- Environmental Science - You'll learn about the environment and its relation to humans.
- Geology - You'll study the physical structure and processes of Earth.
- Sociology - It will teach you about the social structures, human behavior, and societal issues.
- Anthropology - You'll explore human societies and cultures.
- And Economics is all about the production, distribution, and consumption of resources.
Hope it'll help.
