• Geomorphology: the shape of the Earth's surface and how it came about.
• Hydrology: the Earth's water.
• Glaciology: glaciers and ice sheets.
• Biogeography: species, how they are distributed and why.
• Climatology: the climate.
• Pedology: soils.

Nature of Geography

• Physical geography is the branch of natural science which deals with the study of processes and patterns in the natural environment such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere, as opposed to the cultural or built environment, the domain of human geography.

Scope of Physical Geography.

• We have now learned that physical geography examines and investigates natural phenomena spatially.
• Combining these two items, we can now suggest that physical geography studies the spatial patterns of weather and climate, soils, vegetation, animals, water in all its forms, and landforms.
