The major branches of geography are:
1. Physical geography: Focuses on the natural features and processes of the Earth, such as landforms, climate, vegetation, and ecosystems.
2. Human geography: Examines the relationship between humans and their environment, including topics such as population, culture, urbanization, and economic activities.
3. Geomorphology: Studies the formation and evolution of landforms, such as mountains, valleys, and coastlines.
4. Climatology: Focuses on the study of climate patterns and variations over time and space.
5. Biogeography: Examines the distribution of plants and animals on Earth and the factors that influence their distribution.
6. Cartography: Involves the study and creation of maps and other forms of geographic representation.
7. Geographical Information Systems (GIS): Involves the use of technology to analyze and visualize geographic data.
8. Environmental geography: Focuses on the interactions between humans and the environment, including topics such as natural resource management, pollution, and conservation.
9. Urban geography: Studies the spatial patterns and processes of cities and urban areas.
10. Economic geography: Examines the spatial distribution of economic activities, such as trade, industry, and agriculture.
