English-Chinese/Physical geography

Physical geography is one of the two major subfields of geography. Physical geography is related to geology, because it is about the processes and patterns in the natural environment. Some of the things this includes are the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and landforms. Physical geography influences what people do. For example, few live in deserts, and many live in cities near a big river.

自然地理是地理学的两个主要子领域之一. 自然地理学与地质学有关，因为它涉及自然环境中的过程和模式. 其中包括大气，水圈，生物圈和地貌等. 自然地理会影响人们的行为. 例如，很少人住在沙漠中，许多人住在大河附近的城市.
