Why has geography been a descriptive science for a long time?

The thing is that for a long time people were not interested in anything other than describing the territories. Geography was concerned only with describing the land, geographers made maps, denoting unexplored territories. But the structure of the planet, minerals and the like were actively studied only in modern times.
