Climate affects the shapes of landforms through a variety of weathering and erosional process. Geographers perceive a interaction between people and the physical world. This interactive relationship is fundamental in two ways. Physical geographers are concerned with the physical world: physiography (land forms), bodies of water, climate, soils, and natural vegetation. Regional geographers are interested in how physical geography varies and subsequently influences human settlement of the lands. They are also concerned about the effect of human activity on the natural environment.
