Under geography, various elements or aspects found on the surface are studied in the context of human beings. All the elements found on the surface can be divided into two classes on the basis of their origin – (i) natural or physical elements and (ii) human or cultural elements.
On the basis of the study of these physical and human environments, two branches of geography have developed:-
(1) Physical Geography
(2) Human Geography
You have read that physical geography studies the physical environment.

Meaning of Human Geography :-

The concern of human geography as a subject is to understand the earth as the home of man and to study all those elements which have nurtured human beings. Therefore, in human geography, emphasis has been laid on the study of man in the context of nature. So human geography broadly studies the following three things:-
(i) The relationship between the natural and human worlds.
(ii) The spatial distribution of human phenomena and their causes.
(iii) The study of social and economic differences in different parts of the world.
