I'm really stuck on my homework it says Geography can be divided into tree strands, phisical, human and enviromental. Explain what it means in your own words. I'm really stuck so could you help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Well, I'd be confused too! Is it possible the "tree" strands should be "three" strands? Then it means there is a physical, human and environmental side to geography.

Here's an example of a physical map:

You can see where there are mountains, deserts, etc.
Here's an example of a "human" map:

Scroll down a bit to see the map. It's a map of the world with each country shown in a different color. Humans have made these divisions, not nature!
Here, you can explore different types of environmental maps, depending on what you're researching:

The National Geographic link is probably the best one.
PS -- Usually "human" maps are referred to as political maps.
Physical geography is concerned with land and water forms. It also includes natural resources.
Human geography is concerned with the cultures of the various people who live on earth.
Environmental geography studies the relationship between the physical environment and people.
If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to get the business loans. Moreover, my mother commonly uses a student loan, which is the most rapid.
Of course, I'd be happy to help! Geography can be divided into three main strands: physical geography, human geography, and environmental geography.
Physical geography focuses on understanding the natural features and processes of the Earth's physical environment. This includes studying landforms like mountains, rivers, and valleys, as well as weather patterns, climate, ecosystems, and natural disasters. It helps us understand how these physical elements interact with each other and influence the world around us.
Human geography, on the other hand, examines the relationship between humans and their environment. It studies how people interact with and shape their surroundings, including topics like population, culture, language, migration, urbanization, and economic activities. It explores the ways in which human societies are influenced by their environment, and how people, in turn, impact the environment.
Lastly, environmental geography emphasizes the complex relationship between the environment and human activities. It explores issues like natural resource management, environmental sustainability, pollution, climate change, and the impact of human actions on ecosystems. Environmental geography aims to understand and address the challenges that arise from the interaction of humans and their environment.
To approach your homework, you can start by researching each of these three strands of geography separately. Look for reliable sources such as textbooks, encyclopedias, or academic articles to gain a better understanding of each strand. You can also try visual aids like maps, diagrams, or infographics to help visualize and retain the information.
Remember to take notes and jot down key points for each strand. Once you have a good grasp of the concepts, you can then synthesize the information and apply it to your assignment or specific questions.
If you have any specific questions or need further clarification on any topic within these strands, feel free to ask, and I'll be here to assist you!
