What is Geography?

Geography is the study of the earth, the people who live there, and all components that make up the earth.

There are two main branches of Geography:

Physical Geography which encompasses all thing natural.
Human Geography which deals with everything man-made or related to humans.

Physical Geography is the branch of natural science which deals with the study of Earth's seasons, climate, atmosphere, soil, streams, landforms, and oceans, and their processes and patterns in the natural environment.

Human Geography or anthropogeography is the branch of geography that is associated and deals with humans and their relationships with communities, cultures, economies, and interactions with the environment by studying their relations with and across locations. Human Geography consists of a number of sub-disciplinary fields that focus on different elements of human activity and organization, for example, cultural geography, economic geography, health geography, historical geography, political geography, population geography, rural geography, social geography, transport geography, and urban geography.
