What is Physical Geography? Crash Course Geography #4
Video Overview & Insights
Traditionally, geography is studied as two interconnected parts: physical geography and human geography. For the first half of this series, we will be focusing on physical geography, which is all about recognizing the characteristics of the environment and the processes that create, modify, and destroy those environments. But remember, human-environment interactions are fundamental to studying geography so we won't be ignoring human impact, it just won't be the primary lens we're using to view the world. Today, we'll explore erosional gullies in Madagascar as we discuss the world's dynamic landscape, the Great Barrier Reef as we introduce the four major earth system (the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere), and we'll finish with a deep dive into Iceland as we introduce the major realms of physical geography. (These are geographer specializations that you may have heard about like topography, geomorphology, pedology, hydrology, climatology, oceanography, meteorology, and biogeography.)
Geology rocks, but geography is where it's at.

@jannevirtanen1880Im digging your assymetrical shirt. Do you ever wear non-matching socks on purpose?
@LotsOfSI had a question from watching this. Does anyone know why land on Earth started as the super continent Pangaea?
@rolo8542Your dress suits the topic and backdrop 👍
@ArtofHacksCentralBananas! Are! Chom-Choms! Am I the only Crash Course fan who remembers this?
@justthinkingoutloud2538Thank for this and your focus on Iceland was a nice surprise, as I was there, in Reykjavik, this time last year (Jan 2020). An amazing place and I hope to visit again sometime.
@BeverleyWVery good information ma'am.
I am from India
I wish y'all started on Human Geography first, this ain't gonna help me in AP Human Geography this year 😅
@hectorfrausto4274Wow, I've never seen those hills in Madagascar. That looks crazy.

@p0is0n_s0apy72:12 Why is the earth spinning backwards?
@chaosof99Amazing and super interesting!
@learningsimplyvideosI used to hate this course and anything related to this. I wish it was taught this way back then
@unkknown89Hi! Thank you for awesome Geography episodes. I love'em.
@otamansThis episode was all over the place.
@ZavstarI swear crash course is the only thing keeping me in school hahaha
@artmichelstetter5087This video celebrates Iceland's use of clean, renewable hydroelectric power, and rightly so. However, never forget that the dams generating this power severely impact the lives of river wildlife. There's always a dark side.
@JAGzilla-ur3lhWhere can i get the cool shirt she wore?
@telorceplok8812Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
@narsingojudharanmohan8a38Sick shirt bro
@EdinProfaHey, the videos in the CC Geography playlist are in the wrong order 😉 maybe something to fix, could come in handy for future viewers
Edit: but besides that, another great video! Keep up the good work! 💚🌎🌍🌏💚
I think crash course is the best way to learn with fun.
My favorite Hank Green please send another amazing chemistry video lecture.
Iceland has almost 100% renewable energy (well, they still use fossil fuels in transport, about 15% of total energy), but while wind and solar are forms of renewable energy, almost all renewable energy in Iceland is hydropower and geothermal, with almost no wind or solar whatsoever. In the video it is said "Almost 100% of electricity came from renewable energy, like wind and solar". The intended meaning was probably "Iceland has a lot of renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy that is renewable and not produced from fossil fuels. For example, wind, solar and hydro power are forms of renewable energy." However, the perhaps unintended implication of the way it was described in the video is that Iceland's renewable energy is wind and solar and hydro, which is incorrect.
@ShieldAreAir, Water, Stone, Life. Long ago the four spheres existed in harmony, but then everything changed when the biosphere attacked. The only one who could stop them was the Geographer, master of all four spheres, but then the world needed her most, she vanished... wait wrong show.
@Salsmachevcrash course geology good idea
@Zeitgeist329I’m learning one very important lesson in this one: I want to travel to Iceland.
@feitocomfrutaYou need to do something on Cognitive Dissonance
@PerryAstonEverything in Geography ends in the spatial and temporal analysis!
@kavyajha4Excellent way of explaining.Love
From Indian Kashmir
Isn’t the Reef dead?
@metaworldpeacetodaythis has helped me alot thanks you guys:D
@crystalthewolfgirl885I'm much more interested in Geography than History. My favourite social subject is Geography
@manimaadithottamwow
great
I’m not preparing for a test, I just love these videos.
@johnnyvegas45830:36 wow, that drone transition looks really smooth. Wonder how they made those two flight trajectories so similar with months between them.
