Two ways geography has affected the lives of the people who live there are _____ and _______.

Physical geography refers to the natural features and processes of the Earth's surface, such as landforms, water bodies, climate, and vegetation. On the other hand, human geography focuses on the spatial distribution and interactions of human populations, including cultures, economies, and political systems. In Europe, the physical geography of mountainous regions such as the Alps and Carpathians has led to agricultural challenges and limited transportation routes, impacting the livelihoods of those living in these areas. Meanwhile, the human geography of high population density in regions like the Benelux countries has influenced urbanization patterns and resource management practices, affecting the quality of life for residents. These examples demonstrate how both physical and human geography play significant roles in shaping the lives of people in Europe and Russia.
