Physical geography     

physical geography is one of the two branches of geography viz. Physical geography and human  geography. In fact, the study of physical aspects of the earth represents the core of spatial science i.e. geography. Most of geographers have pleaded for brumation of geography into physical and human geography bot it is  rather unwise to ignore biotic aspect of the biospheric  ecosystem of the earth  and hence there  should be trifurcation of geography  into physical geography in term of meaning and definition, scope ( subject matter)  and the method of study of has undergone seachange in the past few decades. In the beginning, physical geography was defined as the study of only physical environment ( namely reliefs, air, and water) of the earth e.g. ' the study of physical environment by itself is physical geography which includes meant by itself is physical geography which includes consideration  of  the surface reliefs of the globe ( geomorphology). of the seas and the oceans ( oceanography) and the air ( metrology and climatology); ( Arthur Holmes)

Earth is splendid terrestrial haven. It is imperative to know physical geography through its display of environmental diversity. In scientific studies, it is established that Geography is a word that originated from two Greek roots. Geo-denotes to "Earth," and graphy  stands for "picture or writing." Geography is the study of earth as the home of present day human being (Sagmit, 1998).The main objective of geography is the assessment, and explanation of Earth, its variability from place to place, the way places and features transform over time, and the processes responsible for these variations and changes. Geography is termed as the spatial science because it incorporates recognizing, analyzing, and explaining the variations, similarities, or differences in phenomena situated on the surface of Earth. Geography is unique among the sciences by virtue of its characterization and central purpose. It describes the values and attitudes towards environment and sharpen intellectual and practice skill.
