2016 How do the worlds of human geography and physical geography overlap? 1. Introduction Human geography and physical geography are the main two branches of geography. Human geography, also known as cultural geography, is the branch of the social sciences that deals with the world, its people and their communities, cultures, economies and interaction with the environment by noticing their relations with and across space and place (Johnston).

Geography is one of the most relevant and constantly evolving subjects and is something I would love to continue studying. My passion for Geography began with early childhood memories of travelling to Mount Vesuvius, which intrigued my quizzical mind as to how the volcano got there and how it affected the people of Pompeii from the eruption in 79 AD. I have always been excited to explore different geographical processes that have defined and continued to change our landscapes. I enjoyed all aspects

Currents events are one of the methods that brings geography closer to every single person through different methods such as experiences and media. Even if certain current events are not happening around or near you it does not mean it doesn’t affect you, most often it indirectly affects everyone in one way
locations due to actual geography and the availability of resources. A society's common practices, technologies, attitudes, and actions make up its culture. This is still the case in many third-world countries, though there are some areas where geography is only considered incidentally due to human inventions like cities. Nevertheless, many residents of less affluent communities still depend on food hunting and proximity to water to survive. These are the explanations for how geography shapes us as people

Many people think that geography solely deals with societal boundaries and human interactions. Some of these people might denounce geography to a social science, separating this field from the hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology. To fully understand the scientific credibility of geographers, it is important to note that while some geographical studies focus on human elements, many other geographical studies explore the natural world through the use of questions, observations, and
Geography is many things, all of which can be mapped or put on paper in some way. The question more difficult to put an answer to is simply this: what cannot be defined as geography?

This is seen when researchers look at relationships of communities and countries
