The document summarizes geography as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. It is divided into two branches: physical geography, which studies the natural environment including landforms, climate, oceans, and more; and human geography, which is concerned with how human activities and systems are distributed across geographical areas and how people use and change their environments. Exploration in geography now means documenting and explaining variations across Earth's surface and figuring out their implications for the future.

Geography
• Is the study of places and the
relationships between people
and their environments.
Geographers explore both the
physical properties of Earth’s
surface and the human
societies spread across it.
• The term "geography" comes to
us from the ancient Greeks
• In Greek, geo means “earth” and
graphy means “to write.”
Geographic perspective - to understand where things are found and
why they are present in those places; how things that are located in
the same or distant places influence one another over time; and why
places and the people who live in them develop and change in
particular ways.
Important part of geography

Exploration

But exploration no longer simply means going to places that have not
been visited before. It means documenting and trying to explain the
variations that exist across the surface of Earth, as well as figuring out
what those variations mean for the future.
Geography is divided into
two branches:
• PHYSICAL
GEOGRAPHY

• HUMAN
GEOGRAPHY
Physical Geography
• The natural environment is
the primary concern of
physical geographers.

• Physical geographers study


Earth’s seasons, climate, atmosphere, soil,
streams, landforms, and oceans. Some disciplines
within physical geography include geomorphology,
glaciology, pedology, hydrology, climatology, biogeography,
and oceanography
• Geomorphology is the study of landforms and
the processes that shape them.

• Glaciologists focus on the Earth’s ice fields


and their impact on the planet’s climate.

• Climatologists study Earth’s climate system


and its impact on Earth’s surface.
• Hydrology is the study of Earth’s
water: its properties, distribution, and effects
especially concerned with the movement of
water as it cycles from the ocean to the
atmosphere, then back to Earth’s surface.

• Biogeographers study the impact of the


environment on the distribution of plants and
animals.

• Oceanography, a related discipline of physical


geography, focuses on the creatures and
environments of the world’s oceans.
Human Geography
• Human geography is concerned with the
distribution and networks of people and
cultures on Earth’s surface.
• Also study how people use and alter their
environments
• Study how political, social, and economic
systems are organized across geographical
space. These include governments, religious organizations, and trade
partnerships.
• Concern with different types of human activities or ways of living.
• Some examples of human geography include urban geography, economic
geography, cultural geography, political geography, social geography, and
population geography.
