Physical Geography Sub-Branches
- Geomorphology: Study of landforms and the processes creating them.
- Hydrology: Study of water distribution, properties, and effects.
- Oceanography: Study of oceans.
- Meteorology: Study of the atmosphere.
- Cartography: Science of map making.
- Geology: Study of the Earth and rocks.
- Astronomy: Study of celestial bodies.
Human Geography Sub-Branches
- Population Geography: Study of characteristics of human populations.
- Economic Geography: Study of the distribution of economic activities.
- Urban Geography: Study of cities and urban areas.
- Political Geography: Study of political divisions and their influence.
- Tourism: Study of travel and tourism.
- Quantitative Geography: Use of graphs, tables, and numerical data in geography.
Quantitative Geography (Across Both Branches)
- This method uses graphs, tables, and numerical data, applicable to both branches.
- Examples, in Physical Geography: Rainfall maps and graphs.
- Examples, in Human Geography: Population maps and population pyramids.
