الجغرافيا الطبيعية Physical geography أوالفيزيوغرافيا Physiography هوالفهم الذي يفهم الظواهر الطبيعية على سطح الأرض من حيث توزيع اليابس والماء والتضاريس وأشكال السطح والغلاف الجوي والغلاف الحيوي مما لم يتدخل فيه الإنسان. يهدف فهم الجغرافيا الطبيعية إلى فهم شكل الأرض وتغيراتها المناخية وخصائص غطائها النباتي والحيواني.

أبرز فهماء الجغرافيا الطبيعية
ألكسندر فون هومبولت، يعتبر الأب المؤسس للجغرافيا الطبيعية.
- إراتوستين (276 – 194 BC) who invented the discipline of geography. He made the first known reliable estimation of the Earth's size. He is considered the father of mathematical geography and geodesy.
- پطليموس (ح. 90 – ح. 168)، who compiled Greek and Roman knowledge to produce the book Geographia.
- أبوريحان البيروني (973 – 1048 AD), considered the father of geodesy.[]
- ابن سينا (Avicenna, 980–1037), who formulated the law of superposition and concept of uniformitarianism in The Book of Healing.[]
- الإدريسي (Dreses, 1100 – c. 1165), who drew the Tabula Rogeriana, the most accurate world map in pre-modern times.
- پيري ريس (1465 – c. 1554), whose Piri Reis map is the oldest surviving world map to include the Americas and possibly Antarctica
- جراردوس مركاتور (1512–1594), an innovative cartographer and originator of the اسقاط مركاتور.

- ألكسندر فون هومبولت (1769–1859)، يعتبر الأب المؤسس للجغرافيا الحديثة. Published Kosmos and founded the study of biogeography.
- Arnold Henry Guyot (1807–1884), who noted the structure of glaciers and advanced the understanding of glacial motion, especially in fast ice flow.
- لويس أگاسيز (1807–1873), the author of a glacial theory which disputed the notion of a steady-cooling Earth.
- ألفرد رسل والاس (1823–1913), founder of modern biogeography and the Wallace line.

- William Morris Davis (1850–1934), father of American geography, founder of Geomorphology and developer of the geographical cycle theory.
- Walther Penck (1888–1923), proponent of the cycle of erosion and the simultaneous occurrence of uplift and denudation.
- السير إرنست شاكلتون (1874–1922), Antarctic explorer during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
- Robert E. Horton (1875–1945), founder of modern hydrology and concepts such as infiltration capacity and overland flow.
- J Harlen Bretz (1882–1981), pioneer of research into the shaping of landscapes by catastrophic floods, most notably the Bretz (Missoula) floods.
- Luis García Sáinz (1894–1965), pioneer of physical geography in Spain.
- Willi Dansgaard (1922–2011), palaeoclimatologist and quaternary scientist, instrumental in the use of oxygen-isotope dating and co-identifier of Dansgaard-Oeschger events.
- هانز أوشگر (1927–1998), palaeoclimatologist and pioneer in ice core research, co-identifier of Dansgaard-Orschger events.
- Richard Chorley (1927–2002), a key contributor to the quantitative revolution and the use of systems theory in geography.
- السير نيكولاس شاكلتون (1937–2006), who demonstrated that oscillations in climate over the past few million years could be correlated with variations in the orbital and positional relationship between the Earth and the Sun.
- Stefan Rahmstorf (born 1960), professor of abrupt climate changes and author on theories of thermohaline dynamics.

The compilation of Edrisi marks an era in the history of science. Not only is its historical information most interesting and valuable, but its descriptions of many parts of the earth are still authoritative. For three centuries geographers copied his maps without alteration. The relative position of the lakes which form the Nile, as delineated in his work, does not differ greatly from that established by Baker and Stanley more than seven hundred years afterwards, and their number is the same.
