human geography

Human geography is the study of how humans interact with and shape the Earth’s surface. It focuses on topics such as:

• Population: The distribution, growth, and movement of people.
• Settlements: The location, size, and structure of cities, towns, and villages.
• Economic activities: The production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
• Cultural landscapes: The ways in which humans modify the environment to reflect their beliefs, values, and traditions.
• Political geography: The study of how political boundaries and power structures influence human activities.

In essence, human geography explores the relationship between people and their environment, and how human actions can both benefit and harm the planet.
