Physical geograpy studies different fndforms, their evolution, differences between various landforms.
Human geography studies how these different land forms on the earth decide and have effect on human activities. Before going in depth you need to study concepts on demography (population, sex ratio, literacy level, migration, birth, death etc..)
Once you studied those basic concepts now begins the main picture. In today's world human geograhic knowledge plays a major role in global business start ups, government policy making, economic planning, transport and logistics, investments etc...Let's see few examples..
#You can't open your KFC restaurant in a village of population with 5000. You have to study the concept of "threshold population" to support any economic activity. Its decided by number of people, their occupation, consumption pattern etc.. Even in most populous and large districts of India you can't see such restaurants. But in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi you can see such in every 2-5 km radius.
