Geography seems to have two branches. The first branch is physical geography and this studies the physical features of our planet. The second branch studies the influences the various lifestyles of mankind have had upon the earth. While these could be seen as the two main branches of geography, there are other and more interesting branches as well. For instance, integrated geography is the branch of geography that describes interactions between humans and the natural world. It requires an understanding of the ways that human societies conceptualize the environment. Regional geography, as the name suggests, looks at the unique features of a region. Economic geography is often equated with demography, but it is more than just patterns of birth, death and marriage. Population geographers are concerned with the distribution, migration and growth of population in geographic areas. Historical geographers deal with how people and their interaction with their environment have changed over the ages. The most interesting part of geography, in my opinion and the one which you will be practicing a lot is cartography, which is map drawing.
