Geography
Types of Geography
Physical Geography
Physical geographers study the earth's landscapes, surface processes, and climate. All of the activity that occurs in our planet's four spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere).
Physical geography consists of many diverse elements. These include: the study of the earth's interaction with the sun, seasons, the composition of the atmosphere, atmospheric pressure and wind, storms and climatic disturbances, climate zones, microclimates, the hydrologic cycle, soils, rivers and streams, flora and fauna, weathering, erosion, natural hazards, deserts, glaciers and ice sheets, coastal terrain, ecosystems, geologic systems, and so much more.
Economical Geography
A branch of geography that studies the absolute and relative location of economic activity, as well as the flows of information, raw resources, goods, and people that link otherwise disparate local, regional, and national economies.
Cultural Geography
The study of the cultural-geographic link. Cultural geography, in general terms, studies people's cultural ideals, practises, discursive and material representations, and artefacts, as well as society's cultural diversity and plurality.
Social Geography
From a spatial viewpoint, the study of social relations, social identities, and social disparities. Social geography, in particular, is concerned with the spatial variation and spatial processes that produce social dimensions of daily life.
Human Geography
The study of the interrelationships between people, place, and environment, as well as how these fluctuate throughout and between locales in terms of space and time.
Historical Geography
Historical geography is the study of previous geographies and how they are represented in present-day geographies. While historical geographers have studied a wide range of issues throughout the field's history, a few themes stand out: the changing interaction between humans and the environment over time, the evolution of cultural and economic areas.
