The Two Sub-disciplines of Geography

The two main Sub-disciplines are Human/ Cultural geography, and Physical Geography. Human Geography deals with social, economic and the behavioral acts. This is the study of humans. The way human activity affects or is influenced by the earth’s surface. It is also the study of people and their communities, economies, cultures, and the interactions with the environment. They do these studies by looking at their relations with and across a curtain place. The way people interact with each other in their different environments. The other sub-discipline is physical geography. This is the study of natural science which deals with the study of patterns and processes in the natural environments. When this is being studied the earth is usually divided into several spheres. These are the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and pedosphere. Some areas of physical geography also include geomorphology: the study of the earth’s shape and surface, and how it came about. The current state of the land and its aspects. Coastal Geography: how the land and the ocean affect each other. Oceanography: The study of the oceans and seas. The physical geography is very important because it is the study of the natural process of earth; which affect the the distribution of resources. Like, carbon dioxide, freshwater, and mineral deep underground. I am very interested in learning more about both physical and human geography. Because, I have always been cautious about the planet, and the people that live in it. So, to be able to learn about it and how to fix it.
