Geography is devided into three areas:
-Physical Geography
-Economic Geography

Biome: Is an association of plants, trees and animals who live in the same area that depending of the climate are different.
| Biomes | Climate | Soil | Vegetation | Location | Human impact |
| Tropical forest | Hot and wet weather | Very poor | Large lealed and huge trees | Asia, South of America and Europe, a 3rd of Brasil and western Afrika | Desforestation |
| Savanna | Hot and dry, 2 seasons | Poor | No much trees, thorny bushes, grass and baobab | Eastern Afrika, between tropical forest and desert | Increased presure through hunting. Big agriculture impact |
| Desert | Very hot OR cold. There isn't a lot of water | Poor | Cactuses | Afrika, Asia, Oceania, America and Europe | Little impact (Oil) |
| Decidious forest | Climate: Oceanic, Mediterranean, Continental | Good for agriculture | Trees (conifers) | Europe,China, Japan, Eastern USA, Canada and Mexico | Very big, no place without Human impact |
| Taiga | Cold | Poor (Permafrost) | Coliferes | Eurasia and Canada | A big desforestation |
| Tundra | Artic climate, very cold | Permafrost, Always frozen | Lickens small weeds moss | Around the north pole | Unknown until now |
Latitude: How far apoints from the Equator.
Depending of the human impact we can find differents types of landscapes:
-Natural landscapes. Are those without human impact
-Trasformed landscapes. Are those in whick agriculture and the use of fire have transformed the enviroment irreversibly.
-Ordered landscapes. Are theorecally create by a society actin in a rational and coherent manner.
Raw materials: everything that you can see before processing.
Primary sector comprises economic activities concerned fairly directly with raw materials.
Mining
Forestry
Cattle raising
Fishing
Agriculture
Secundary sector. Uses industrial processes to transform raw materials. Basic industry, making-machine... etc.
Basic industry (minerals)
Constumes
Goods
Industry
Terciary sectors. The terciary sector is services, isn't including another things relatied to the other 2 sectors. E.g. transports, comunication, education....
