Physical and Human Geography

The video tutorial explores the two main branches of geography: physical and human geography. Physical geography covers Earth's physical features, including landforms, water bodies, climate, and weather patterns. It also discusses the role of plate tectonics in shaping the Earth's surface. Human geography examines human activities, migration, cultural influences, and how these interact with the physical environment. The tutorial highlights the interconnectedness of physical and human geography, using the United States as a case study to illustrate how geographic features influence human settlement and activities.
