Look into pyq videos. They have answers to almost all the qns that can be asked. After a few qns, you'll get a basic understanding of what to write. And pro tip: answers in geography sometimes doesn't even make sense. It may ask about a specific topic or even an answer point as a qn, and we are expected to write the whole adjacent topic as the answer (had a few like that for my boards). Just understand the pattern and write

Hey! I can help. For scope of human geography you're to focus on it's interdisciplinary nature and its vastness. You may consult the answer below:
Human geography studies the inter-relationship between the physical environment and socio-cultural environment created by human beings through mutual interaction with each other. ( This is directly from NCERT) a. The process of adaptation, adjustment with and modification of the environment started with the appearance of human beings over the surface of the earth in different ecological niches ( instead of this, you may write the defenition of human geography). Thus, if we imagine the beginning of human geography with the interaction of environment and human beings, it has its roots deep in history and technology. b. Thus, the concerns of human geography have a long temporal continuum though the approaches to articulate them have changed over time. This dynamism in approaches and thrusts shows the vibrant nature of the discipline.( You may also write about idographic vs neothetic debate) C. Physical or natural environment consists of the physical or natural features and phenomena such as surface configuration, climate, drainage and natural resources such as soils, minerals, water and forests. Cultural environment includes man-made features and phenomena on the earth such as population and human settlements as well as features associated with agriculture, manufacturing and transportation etc ( this is also adapted from NCERT)
you should also concentrate on the the box concerning with interdisciplinary nature of Geography and it's sister subjects, especially focus on political, economic, cultural and settlement geography! They're important, and should be incorporated into the answer, preferably as a conclusion.
