Physical Geography	Human Geography
Physical geography Looks at the Natural process of the Earth, such as climate and plate tectonics, wind movements etc	Human geography looks at the impact and behaviour of people and their implications in the physical world
Areas of Physical Geography include: Geomorphology: The shape of the <a href="https://byjus.com/free-ias-prep/ncert-notes-geography-structure-of-the-earth/">structure of the Earth</a> and how they were formed Hydrology: Study of Earth’s Water Glaciology: Study of Earth’s glaciers and ice sheets Climatology: Study of the Earth’s climate	Areas of Human Geography include: Cultural Geography: How things like religion, language and government vary across the world Development Geography: Standards of living and quality of life across the world Historical Geography: How people have studied and thought about geography in the past Urban Geography: Cities and Built-up areas
Physical geography lays more emphasis on the ‘location’ aspect of the region it currently studies	Human geography concentrates both a “location” and “people aspect as well. For example, a typical study will focus on why the Western-portion of the Indian subcontinent are populated with people of Iranic and Turkish descent
