Types of Geography
- General or systematic geography (studies the Earth's features)
- Regional geography (studies specific regions)
- Physical geography (studies the Earth's natural processes and features: landforms, climate, water, and soils. Examples include geomorphology, climatography, and hydrography)
- Human or social geography (studies human activities and their impact on the environment): Cultural geography, economic geography, political geography and demographic geography
- The different types of geographic analysis used include natural processes like plate tectonics, erosion etc; and human activities like population distribution, urbanization, and economic systems
