geographically
In terms of place
Geographically means in terms of geography or physical location on Earth.
It describes how something relates to place, region, or spatial distribution: The species is geographically isolated, geographically speaking, we're closer to Canada than to Texas.
The word often contrasts with other ways of organizing information—politically, culturally, economically.
