Geography can be broadly divided into Physical Geography and Human Geography. Both these
streams can be studied under the verticals – Indian Geography and World Geography.
The discipline of Geography is broadly divided into Physical Geography and Human Geography.
The concepts of Geography need to be applied to questions related to Indian Geography as well
as World Geography.
Indian Geography
Indian Geography can be divided into three – Physical Geography, Economic Geography and
Social Geography. The major sub-topics under Physical Indian Geography are Physio-graphic
divisions, Drainage, Climate, Vegetation, Natural Resources etc. Topics related to the
environment like wildlife, Soil, Flora etc should be given stress too. Economic and Social
Geography related aspects of Indian Geography should be studied in parallel to Physical
Geography.
Physio-graphic regions
1. Mountains (Himalayas).
2. Northern Plains.
3. Peninsular Plateau.
4. Coastal Plains.
5. Islands.
Drainage
1. Himalayan Rivers.
2. Peninsular Rivers.
Climate + Four Seasons of India
1. Hot Weather Season.
2. Advancing Monsoon.
3. Retreating Monsoon.
4. Cold Weather Season.
Vegetation
1. Tropical Rain-forest.
2. Tropical Deciduous Forests. (Monsoon Forests)
3. Mountain Vegetation.
4. Desert Vegetation.
, 5. Marshy land Vegetation.
Natural Resources
1. Minerals including Petroleum and Natural Gas.
2. Wild Life.
3. Forests.
4. Water.
5. Soil.
Human Geo: Economic Geography
Study in detail about the economic activities related to Agriculture, Industries and Services in
different areas of India. Learn how the geography of a region affects the economic prosperity of
the same.
Human Geo: Social Geography
Learn more about the details like Demographics, poverty, hunger, literacy rates, unemployment
etc. from a geography perspective.
Geomorphic Processes and Earth
Movements
It is time to know in detail about the surface of the earth on which we live. We know that the
surface of the earth is not a plain platform. It is distributed unevenly with a variety of landforms
like mountains, hills, plateaus, plains, ravines, cliffs etc. Why is the surface of the earth uneven?
What make changes in the earth’s surface? What process makes mountains and hills? The
answer to all the questions above – Geomorphic Processes.
Geomorphic Process
The formation and deformation of landforms on the surface of the earth are a continuous
process which is due to the continuous influence of external and internal forces. The
internal and external forces causing stresses and chemical action on earth materials and
bringing about changes in the configuration of the surface of the earth are known as geomorphic
processes.
Mind Map to Study Geomorphic Processes/Earth Movements
The below mind map will help to study geomorphic processes and their sub-classification in a
matter of minutes.
