What is human geography?

Bangkok, Thailand. Living in a metropolis has its advantages and disadvantages.

In the 7th grade, you studied natural geography. You learned how mountains are formed, what the vegetation zones of the planet are like, and how the planet's climate is changing.

On this course, we will examine geography from a different angle: from the point of view of humans. This branch of geography is called human geography.

During this course, you will learn things about Earth's populations, economies and cultural regions (such as nations and continents). As the natural conditions of the planet have a significant effect on many facets of human life, the course will also cover some topics of natural geography.

The course examines all the continents of planet Earth that are inhabited by humans: Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and South America. Each continent will be examined by focusing on certain example nations. By focusing on specific nations, you will gain a better picture of how human cultures have adapted to their natural surroundings.
