Which of the following is incorrect pair ?

  • A.Ellsworth Huntington : Determinism
  • B.Richard Hartshone : Areal differentiation
  • C.Yi-Fu Tuan : Humanistic Geography
  • D.Richard Peet : Possibilism

Answer: D

The incorrect pair is Richard Peet : Possibilism.

Richard Peet is a leading figure of radical (Marxist) geography, editor of Radical Geography (1977) and long associated with the journal Antipode. Possibilism is linked with Vidal de la Blache and Lucien Febvre.

The other pairs are correct: Ellsworth Huntington argued in Civilization and Climate that climate shapes civilisation (determinism); Richard Hartshorne (spelt Hartshone here) defined geography as the study of areal differentiation in The Nature of Geography (1939); and Yi-Fu Tuan is a founder of humanistic geography.
