Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1LC
To determine
To describe: The differences between the physical geography and human geography.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1LC
Physical geography deals with the naturally originated features of the Earth, whereas human geography deals with the human endeavour.
Explanation of Solution
The Greek word geography denotes the Earth description. The branch of geography that deals with the elements of Earth have a natural origin that is termed as physical geography. It includes landforms, weather and climate. It is also known as environmental geography.
The branch of geography that deals with human endeavour, such as language and religion are termed as human geography. The term cultural geography is also used sometimes to denote this.
