The Geography module offers a comprehensive understanding of both the physical and human aspects of geography. It covers various concepts and phenomena that explain the interactions between the earth’s physical features, environment, and human activity. This module is particularly important for understanding contemporary issues like climate change, disaster management, and resource distribution.
Key Components:
Physical Geography: In-depth study of landforms (geomorphology), climate systems (climatology), water bodies (hydrology and oceanography), and the earth’s natural processes. Special attention to India’s physical geography, including the Himalayas, river systems, monsoon patterns, and coastal regions.
Human Geography: Analysis of population distribution, urbanization, migration patterns, and cultural landscapes. Students will explore how human activities shape the environment and how geography impacts human life.
