Abstract
- This article focuses on the geographic regularities of the earth. Physical geography is the study of the distinctive characteristics of the state and development of the landscape envelope of the earth. This article is concerned with the entire landscape envelope as an integral system, studied by general physical geography. The author discusses the law of the wholeness of the landscape envelope. Another characteristic feature of the landscape envelope of the earth discussed in the article is the presence in it of systems of circulation. The system of oceanic currents forms circular movements of water rotating in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere.
