It's long and thin along the coast.

Jack

11:14

its in large writing meaning its a country

Jazmin

11:14

its right on the coast

Joseph A

11:14

chilie is on the coast

Luke

11:15

they got invaded

Mr Fairhurst

11:15

Maybe but lots of places get invaded and it would be hard to defend a very big border. Not many countries have this sort of shape. Think about the physical geography

Louis

11:15

its tiny

Eva Wright

11:15

Because people wanted more land than it so they took it all for themselves

Amelia Ashton

11:15

Because it is on the coast

Grace

11:15

Maybe the other parts have taken over and only left the part that’s left

Aoife

11:15

its right on the cost

Mr Fairhurst

11:16

This image might help you consider why Chile is the shape it is.

Alex

11:16

because they stayed on the coast didn't go inland

Mr Fairhurst

11:16

I like this idea.

George

11:16

other countries took over it

Mr Fairhurst

11:17

If that image is too small, google physical geography of south america (in a different tab) and you will be able to see a bigger picture

Joseph R

11:17

it is very long and thin so it would be hard to defend

Jack

11:17

its harder to invade to because on one side its water and they over its land

Louis

11:17

Lots of boarders round it

Josh

11:17

The mountains are next to child

Mr Fairhurst

11:17

Excellent. So the mountains have created a natural border

Sylvie

11:17

its been took over

Joseph A

11:18

because some other countries took other

Mr Fairhurst

11:18

What other things might help create natural borders between countries?

Eva Wright

11:18

more and more countries were coming in so it left chile on the west coast

Mr Fairhurst

11:19

So Chile is largely that shape because the mountains create a natural border between there and Argentina

Grace

11:19

It’s been cut off by the mountains

Luke

11:19

rivers

Eva Wright

11:19

Paradise falls

Jack

11:19

volcanos

Josh

11:19

Rivers and lakes

Amelia Ashton

11:19

Is it because of the vast amount of water surrounding it

George

11:19

rivers became made cutting of the other side of the country

Mr Fairhurst

11:20

What can we learn from looking at this image?

Jazmin

11:20

mabey rivers lakes such as the river nile

Joseph A

11:20

volcanos

George

11:20

earthquakes

Jazmin

11:20

how about gorges and rvines

Mr Fairhurst

11:21

Oh sorry, one final question about the borders. Are all borders created naturally by physical geography like mountains and rivers? What else can create them?

Isla

11:21

I think it is because a lot of water is around it
