Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask
where things are located on the
surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how
places differ from one another, and how people interact with the
environment. There are two main branches of geography: human
geography and physical geography. Human geography is concerned
with the spatial aspects of human existence - how people and
their activity are distributed in space, how they use and
perceive space, and how they create and sustain the places that
make up the earth's surface. Human geographers work in the
fields of urban and regional planning, transportation,
marketing, real estate, tourism, and international business.
Physical geographers study patterns of climates, land forms,
vegetation, soils, and water. They forecast the weather, manage
land and water resources, and analyze and plan for forests,
rangelands, and wetlands. Many human and physical geographers
have skills in cartography and Geographic Information Systems
(GIS). Geographers also study the linkages between human
activity and natural systems. Geographers were, in fact, among
the first scientists to sound the alarm that human-induced
changes to the environment were beginning to threaten the
balance of life itself. They are active in the study of global
warming, desertification, deforestation, loss of biodiversity,
groundwater pollution, and flooding.

Human geography
is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of
patterns and processes that shape human interaction with various
environments. It encompasses
human,
political,
cultural,
social,
and
economic
aspects. While the major focus of human geography is not
the physical landscape of the Earth (see
physical geography), it is
hardly possible to discuss human geography without referring to
the physical landscape on which human activities are being
played out, and
environmental geography
is emerging as a link between the two. Human geography
can be divided into many broad categories (for a comprehensive
list see
human geography),
such as:
