Now that we understand what Geography is let's take a look at the what Geography encompasses. There are two main branches of Geography:

1. Physical Geography which encompasses all thing natural.

2. Human Geography which deals with everything man-made or related to humans.

Each branch has its own sub-categories which deal with specific concepts relating to the focal point. It should be known that Geography at the CSEC level will not go in-depth into topics but rather offer beginner knowledge related to the Caribbean community. As such, keep in mind that Geography will be studied through five themes. The five themes for Geography are as follows:

1. Movement: Movement describes the flow of information, goods and people across varying areas.

2. Human-Environment Interaction: This theme is used to explore the interaction between human societies and the natural environment around them. We explore how we interact with each other on benefits and disadvantages.

3. Location: This can be broken down into two categories. The first is absolute location which is the pin point accurate location that cannot be changed and the second is the relative location. The relative location is the location of a place, object or group in relation to varying areas.

4. Place: When you think of a place what do you usually think of? How it looks, correct? Using place, we are describing a locations unique physical and human characteristics. 

5. Region: This theme falls under three types. These are the formal, functional and perceptual. Here, we discuss the similarities and differences of areas based on cultural, physical or human characteristics that reside there.

A list of sub-categories of Physical Geography would include:

1. Oceanography - a study of the waves, and coastlines.

2. Climatology - namely surrounding climate and weather systems.

3. Geomorphology

4. Biogeography

5. Hydrology

6. Paleogeography

These are example of sub-categories within Human Geography:

1. Cultural Geography

2. Economic Geography

3. Health Geography
