Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ancient Greeks are considered to be the first to appreciate the practical importance and usefulness of geography. They studied the physical features and climate of their land and how it influenced their daily lives, including agriculture and trade. They also created maps and used them for navigation and exploration. The Greeks even coined the term "geography" or "earth description" and created theories on the shape and size of the Earth. On the other hand, while German geographers have made significant contributions to the field of geography, they were not the first to appreciate its practical importance and usefulness.
