Detailed explanation-1: -Ratzel produced the foundations of human geography in his two-volume Anthropogeographie in 1882 and 1891. This work was misinterpreted by many of his students, creating a number of environmental determinists. He published his work on political geography, Politische Geographie, in 1897.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Friedrich Ratzel. In Anthropogeographie (vol. 1, 1882, and vol. 2, 1891) he considered population distribution, its relation to migration and environment, and also the effects of environment on individuals and societies.
Detailed explanation-3: -The name “organic theory” comes from Ratzel’s assertion that political entities, such as countries, behave in a way not too dissimilar from that of living organisms. More specifically, to survive, a political entity requires nourishment to gain political power.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ratzel and Vidal de la Blache thus share a common geographical paradigm. Firstly, both share the same postulate which dictates that land use is conditioned by the fulfillment of needs: Due to his survival requirements, Man would be subjected to Nature.
