How can present geography help as a vital category after a large earth reforging asteroid impact or any other heavy geological disaster? Wouldn't the tectonic plates be shattered and reconfigured?

The present geography will only serve as a history or even mythology.

Geography is the science of the mechanics that drive our world. Learning to understand those, however different they may be after a disaster will become vital if you plan to rehabitate the whole world.
