There is really no difference between world geography and geography. Geography is the study of the world, its people, land, water and features. Some schools will offer different types of geography classes such as world geography, geography specific to one area of the world, environmental geography, human geography and physical geography. In essence, geography and world geography are interchangeable terms.
Two main branches of geography, or world geography, are physical geography and environmental geography. Physical Geography studies the land, the weather, climate, plants and animals and is considered an earth science. Human geography focuses on people and their relationships, both positive and negative, with the world.
I’m taking human geography in college right now and am finding it very interesting. While we do study, briefly, waters and land masses, we focus more on the effect that humans have, intentionally or unintentionally, had on the geography of the world. We also study the effect that the land (or geography) has had on people. It’s a very interesting topic of study.
