Geography is studied by the following two approaches. It is known that they are
(1) Systematic Approach,
(2) Regional Approach.
(1) Sort approach is not the approach of geography which is of General Geography. The approach was introduced by Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859), a German geographer.Under this methodJournalists to Geographic Elements (Topics) is divided and studied on a global scale. Surface, climate, soil, runoff, minerals, agriculture, industry, transport, matters are all studied separately. Classical types of regional form are identified after studying globally. For example, if we have taken a topic - 'natural vegetation'. First we will study it globally and its classified types; Such as equatorial forest, soft wood angular forest or monsoon forest, etc. will be identified. Hence speculative Population, trade etc.
The usefulness of the serialization method is that by this we can focus on the distribution and analysis of some selected elements of the total reality.
(2) Territorial approach - Territorial geography was also developed by another German geographer Karl Ritter 1779 - 1859. In the regional approach, the world is divided into regions at different hierarchical levels, and then all geographical elements are studied in a particular region. These regions can be natural, political or designated.
All geographical elements in a region are studied holistically, exploring unity in diversity. Areal differentiation found on the ground causes any two areas to be the same
There are no, but many times we see that there is considerable homogeneity in the geographical environment of some regions located far away on the earth plane, due to which the people living in all these states live, live and Economic activities are almost the same.
Example: Geographical environment like the Amazon basin in the Brazilian country of South America is found thousands of kilometers away from the Congo and Zaire basins of Africa and Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines islands in southeastern Asia. All these terrains are merged into one natural region. We call this section the equatorial region. The regional method is called the study of almost identical geographical and human conditions found in all the far-flung terrains of this natural block.
The sort method and the regional method differ only to facilitate the study of geography. Branches of Geography Based on Systematic Approach]
A. Physical Geography The following are the sub-branches of Physical Geography.
1. Geomorphology - Geomorphology under this science; Such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, their sequence development and related processes are studied.
2. Climatology - In climate science we have the structure of the atmosphere, the weather and the elements of climate; like
Study of temperature, rainfall, air load, winds, rain, humidity, air quantities and types of cyclone and climate and climate region.
The effect of climate on human activities is also studied in this science.
3. Hydrology - In this newly developed subdivision of physical geography, the role of water is studied in the nature of oceans, rivers, snow rivers. It also studies "how water nourishes different forms of life".
4. Oceanography - In this science Depth of sea water, salinity, waves and currents, tides, ocean floor and ocean deposits are studied.
5. Soil Geography - In soil geography we study soil formation, its type, properties, productivity level, soil distribution, fertility and utilization etc.
B. Human Geography: A branch of geography that studies the human-made conditions or characteristics on the earth plane in the backdrop of the physical environment is called human geography.
Following are the sub-branches of human Geography 1. Economic Geography - According to NG Pounds, "Economic geography is the study of the economic activities of human beings on the terrain; such as the distribution of agriculture, mining, industry, tourism, trade and transport." Does. " In this, infrastructure and services are also studied.
2. Social / Cultural Geography - Under it, cultural aspects of human beings - housing, food, way of living, ethics, living, language, education, security, religion, in terms of time and place. Social institutions and attitudes are studied. In addition to this, the spatial / regional dynamicism of society is also studied.
3.Population and Settlement Geography - This branch studies demographic growth such as population growth, distribution, density, sex ratio, age, migration, literacy and occupational structure in rural and urban areas. In the Habitat Geography, the distribution, pattern and other characteristics of rural and urban domiciles are studied.

In the Habitat Geography, the distribution, pattern and other characteristics of rural and urban domiciles are studied.
4. Historical Geography Each state goes through experiences of change before coming to the present situation. Historical geography studies these changes in the context of time and helps us in understanding the present form of a region. According to Hartshorne, historical geography is the geography of the past. "It is clear that historical geography studies the processes that mobilize the region.
5. Political Geography - Under this definition, geopolitics, political system, the effects of various political ideologies on the use of resources, state and national boundaries, geo-economic relations between neighboring states and countries. ), Delimitation of the constituency, election scenario, local self-government, territorial and national 1. Planning is studied. It also develops a theoretical framework for understanding the political behavior of the subdivision population.
C.BIO- GEOGRAPHY
Interface of Physical Geography and Human Geography (Interface) resulted in the emergence of biological geography. Following are the major branches of Zoological Geography
1. Zoo Geography - Under it, the spatial nature of animals and their habitat and
Geographical features are studied.
2. Plant Geography - This subdivision of the spatial pattern of natural vegetation in its habitat Studies.
5. Political Geography - Under this definition, geopolitics, political system, the effects of various political ideologies on the use of resources, state and national boundaries, geo-economic relations between neighboring states and countries. ), Delimitation of the constituency, election scenario, local self-government, territorial and national 1.

2. Plant Geography - This subdivision of the spatial pattern of natural vegetation in its habitat Studies.
3. Ecology - In this, scientific study of habitat area, development, classification and distribution of species is done.
4. Environmental Geography - Environmental problems under it; Issues such as land degradation, pollution and environmental protection are studied. The importance of this branch is increasing due to increasing awareness about the environment around the world.
Branches of geography based on regional approach [
1. Macro, Meso and Micro Level) Regional / Regional Studies.
2. Area / Rural Planning and City and Town Planning Including regional planning.
3. Regional Development.
4. Regional Analysis.
The classification described above presents a broad format of branches of geography. Generally the course of Geography is designed and taught in this framework. But this structure of classification is not static, because every subject is compelled to keep moving forward with new thinking, new insights, new methods, new techniques and problems. For example, with the help of computers, not only have better maps and diagrams been created, but this has also made it possible to manage data on a large scale. The Internet provides comprehensive information. Geographical Information System (GIS) opens up new scenarios of knowledge.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a convenient device that describes the exact position. These techniques have greatly enhanced the ability to perform analysis along with critical theoretical knowledge.
