Who, amongst the following, defined Geography as a chorological science ?

  • A.Ptolemy
  • B.Richthofen
  • C.Hettner
  • D.P.E. James

Answer: C

Alfred Hettner defined geography as the chorological science, that is, the study of the differences of areas of the earth's surface, in contrast to the systematic sciences. Ptolemy was a classical geographer and cartographer. Richthofen supported chorology and regional study but Hettner gave the clear definition. P.E. James is known for his work on the history of geographical thought and for his regional approach, but not for this definition.
