摘要
15世纪末至16世纪初中叶的地理大发现在自然地理学方面有重要的意义:一、破除了迷信,解放了思想;二、证实了地球的形状、大小,海陆的分布、比例和各自的轮廓以及对蹠等问题;三、充实、丰富和初步完善了反映地球表面基本自然地理状况的地图册和地球仪。这一阶段的地理大发现是古代中世纪自然地理学向近代自然地理学转变的里程碑。
The great significance of geographical discoveries from the last years of the 15th century to the early and middle periods of the 16th century lies in: (1) These discovedies do a way with superstitutions and emancipate the mind of mankind; (2) They prove the shape and size of the earth; and (3) They substantiate, enrich and initially perfect the atlas and terrestrial globe that reflect the basic natural geography of the surface of the earth. The great geographical discoveries mean landmarks for natural geography, Changing from one of antiquity and the Middle Ages towards one of modern times.
