Who has divided the Cosmography into Uranography and Geography ?

  • A.Hettner
  • B.Blache
  • C.Humboldt
  • D.Davis

Answer: C

Cosmography was divided into uranography and geography by Humboldt.

In Kosmos, Alexander von Humboldt set out a physical description of the whole universe. He divided this cosmography into uranography, the description of the heavens and celestial bodies, and geography, the description of the earth, so that geography became the terrestrial part of a single science of nature.

The others are known for different ideas. Alfred Hettner defined geography as a chorological science of areal differentiation. Vidal de la Blache founded possibilism and the study of genre de vie. W. M. Davis gave the cycle of erosion in geomorphology. None of them made this division.
