- Human geography: study of relationship between humans and environment. - It analyses spatial
variations in human activities and their interaction with physical environment. - Major Approaches: •

humans adapt and modify environment (e.g., Vidal de la Blache). • Neo-determinism – balance
between environment and human action (e.g., Griffith Taylor). - Human geography is highly
interdisciplinary – connects economics, history, sociology, anthropology, political science. -
