Human and Physical Geography is the study of the environment, people, and the resources they use. Geography determines the way in which humans live, the adaptations they have developed to survive, and the alterations to the environment they have made to better their existence. The impact of human interaction with the environment has had mixed results. While human life has been improved and made more comfortable, the environment has been damaged in a variety of ways.
