The document outlines the key areas of study in human geography and physical geography. Human geography examines how and where people live, including topics like demography, culture, politics, and economics. Physical geography studies the natural environment and natural processes, covering spheres like the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere, as well as weather, climate, tectonics, natural resources and seasons. Real-life applications are discussed for many of these topics.
