Whose pioneer statement on the scope and method of modern geography, according to Hartshorne, set the direction of geographic thought for the future ?
Answer: D
According to Hartshorne, the pioneer statement on the scope and method of modern geography that set the direction of geographic thought was by Ferdinand von Richthofen, in his Leipzig inaugural lecture of 1883. He defined geography as the chorological science of the earth's surface and its areal differentiation.
Vidal de la Blache, Schlüter and Ratzel were also important, as founder of the French school, of landscape morphology and of anthropogeography respectively, but Hartshorne in The Nature of Geography gives the place of the pioneering statement to Richthofen.
