Geography and its Explanation (Summary)

The wide scope of geography raises the need for specialization, therefore, there are various branches of geography that support it.

And in this discussion, the branch of geography is divided into two parts, namely physical geography and human geography.

From these two will also be divided into several other parts.

To find out more, take a good look at the reviews below until they're finished!
