What is difference between systematic and regional approach????

Answer» Main differences between systematic and regional approach are summarized below:\tBasisSystematic ApproachRegional ApproachProfounderThe systematic geography approach was introduced by Alexander Von Humboldt, a German geographer.Regional geography approach was developed by another German geographer and a contemporary of Humboldt, Karl Ritter.MethodologyIn systematic approach, a phenomenon is studied world over as a whole, and then the identification of typologies or spatial patterns is done.In the regional approach, the world is divided into regions at different hierarchical levels and then all the geographical phenomena in a particular region are studied. These regions may be natural, political or designated.ExampleFor example, if one is interested in studying natural vegetation, the study will be done at the world level as a first step. The typologies such as equatorial rain forests or softwood conical forests or monsoon forests, etc. will be identified, discussed and delimited.For example, if one is interested in studying natural vegetation, the study will be done for different region like equator, monsoon region, Desert region, Tundra region, etc.Branches\xa01)Physical geo (i) Geomorphology\xa0 (ii) Climatology\xa0 (iii) Hydrology\xa0 (iv)Soil Geo 2)Human geo (i) Social/Cultural geography\xa0 (ii)Population & Settlement geo (iii)Economic Geo (iv)Historical Geo (v)Political Geo 3)Bio-Geography- (i) Plant Geo (ii) Zoo Geog (iii) Ecology (iv)Environmental Geography\xa01.
