Physical and Human Processes, why are they important?

'These processes cause change and development in places and can be used to explain patterns and distributions. Understanding these processes help pupils to imagine alternative futures for places and for the people who live and work in them.'



'modern geography seeks to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be. As "the bridge between the human and physical sciences," geography is divided into two main branches—human geography and physical geography.[4][5]'
