Today in class we learned about what human geography is all about. We defined geography, human geography and physical geography. We also learned about the three types of maps used in geography, as well as the difference between human and physical geography.
We were trying to achieve gaining the knowledge about what human geography is. Human geography is the branch of geography that deals with people and their communities, economics, culture and interactions with the environment.
Since I already defined what human geography is, I am now going to explain what geography is. In class we learned that geography is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, inhabitants, features, and the phenomena of the Earth and planets. The last type of geography we learned/talked about was physical geography. Physical geography is basically just the branch of geography dealing with natural features and processes.
During class we talked about the different types of maps geographers use. Those maps are physical maps, political maps and thematic maps. A political map show the boundaries of states and countries, they also show the location of major cities. Physical maps show things like oceans, rivers, valleys, mountains, plateaus, etc. Finally, a thematic map shows a particular theme connected in areas. They can portray social, political and economic things.
I found it to be interesting that there is so many types of maps that geographers use. I also found it interesting that there are different types of geography because I never knew that before.
