Physical Geography and Human Geography
If we were to categorize these
questions into two categories, what two categories might we
choose?

So, What is Geography?
• Geography is the study of the physical and cultural landscapes of Earth.• The study of the physical and human
landscape of the Earth and the interaction between the two.
• It is the study of place and space. • It is a science that deals with the
description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth's surface.
• Physical Geography, a subset of geography, is the study of natural features and phenomena of the earth’s surface. Human Geography is the study of the world, its people, communities, and cultures.

Geography Terminology (Vocabulary)• Geography: The study of the physical and human landscapes
of Earth and the interaction between the two (human-environment interactions).
• Physical Geography: study of processes and patterns (the natural environment of the Earth)
• Human Geography: studies culture, population, economy, etc.• Geographers use many tools to study the Earth: Examples
maps, aerial photos, observation, surveys, satellites, organize information into charts and graphs.
• Geographers also study location, place, region, movement and the human-environment interactions.
• 3 types of Regions: formal, functional, perceptual• Why is geography important in our everyday lives?

• Change over time.• Do not have definite borders
– Are separated from or blend with other regions by transition zones.
• Transition Zone: Gradual shift (not a sharp break) to neighboring regions.
• Properties of Regions– Area– Boundaries– Location
