Geography can be divided into multiple branches that study different aspects of the earth and its relationship to humans. Some of the key branches include physical geography, which examines the natural environment and landforms; human geography, which focuses on human populations, cultures, and activities; and geomorphology, the scientific study of landform evolution and configuration. Additional branches covered in the document are urban geography, economic geography, population geography, cultural geography, agriculture geography, oceanography, climatology, and disaster management. Each branch contributes to understanding interactions between humans and the environment.
