Morphology
geographics = geographic (opaque) = geo + graphic + s
The form looks like a suffixal extension of geographic, but the sense given is not a standard transparent meaning of that pattern.
Etymology
Geographics comes from the Greek parts geo- meaning 'earth' and -graphy meaning 'description', the same parts you see in geography. So, geographics is about studying the Earth's surface and how people live in different lands and climates.
