Nature of Geography is dualistic.

Answer: Geography studies both the physical environment and the human environment, and is both a physical and a social science.

• Geography has two main branches: physical geography (landforms, climate, water, soils, vegetation) and human geography (population, settlements, economic activities).
• It studies the interaction between nature and man, so it links natural sciences and social sciences.
• Dualism is also seen in approaches: systematic (topical) vs regional geography, and determinism vs possibilism.
• It uses both qualitative description and quantitative methods.
• Because of these pairs of opposite approaches and its two-sided subject matter, the nature of geography is said to be dualistic.
