HUMAN GEOGRAPHY NATURE AND SCOPE.
1.What is the subject-matter of the study of human geography?
Explain any three factors.
• To establish relationship between the physical world and the human
world.
• To study the spatial distribution of human phenomena.
•To study the social and economic differences between parts of the world.
• To understand the earth as home of human beings and to study all those
elements which have sustained them.
•Nature and human are inseparable elements and should be seen,
holistically.
2. "Nature and human's are inseparable elements". Justify the
Statement. with suitable examples.
Nature and humans are inseparable. The earth is the home of mankind. It
may be in different forms. All types of life supports are provided by nature.
They directly depend on nature. Nature and humans
are inseparable and should be seen holistically. Physical features are
described in imetaphors using symbols from the human anatomy.
For example: face of earth, nose of glacier, eye of storm, mouth of river,
neck of isthmus, profile of soil etc.
3. "The knowledge about nature is extremely important to develop a
technology” support this statement by giving three examples.
• Human beings interact with their physical environment with the help of
technology.
• It is not so important to know what human beings produce and create, but
it is extremely important to know with the help of what tools and techniques
do they produce and create.
•Technology indicates the level of cultural development of society. Human
beings were able to develop technology after they developed a better
understanding of natural laws,
Examples:
• The understanding of concepts of friction
, and heat helped us to discover fire.
•Understanding the Secrets of DNA and
genetics helped us to conquer many diseases.
•We use the laws of aerodynamics to develop faster planes. Thus,
knowledge about nature is extremely important to develop a technology.
4. The primitive communities lived in complete harmony with their
natural environment and as such the humans were naturalised".
Support the stament statement.
The primitive communities lived in complete harmony with their natural
environment:
•The primitive society lives in complete harmony with their natural
environment.
•It is realized that in all such cases nature
is a powerful force, worshiped, revered and conserved
•There is direct dependence of human beings on nature for resources
which sustain them.
• The people begin to understand their environment and the forces of
nature with the passage of time.
•With social and cultural development humans developed better and more
efficient techology.
•They move from a state of necessity to a
state of state of freedom.
• They create possibilities with the resources obtained from the
environment.
•They were afraid of the fury of nature.
5.How does technology loosen the shackles of the environment on
human beings ? Explain with examples.
Human beings interact with their physical environment with the help of
technology. Here technology indicates the level of cultural developement of
society. Earlier
Stages of their interactions with the natural
environment, humans were greatly influenced by nature, but contemporary
human understands the nature and its forces. They use their understanding
