Solution

Human geography is defined as “the relationship between the physical/natural and the human worlds, the spatial distribution of human phenomenon and how they come about, the social and economic difference between different parts of the world.”

According to Ratzel “Human geography is the synthetic study of relationship between human societies and earth’s surface.”

According to Ellen C. Semple “Human geography is the study of the changing relationships between the unresting man and unstable earth.”
