Trade is closely related to geography as it is influenced by factors such as natural resources, proximity to markets, transportation routes, and political boundaries. Geography determines the availability and location of resources, which in turn affects the types and patterns of trade. Physical features like mountains, rivers, and coastlines can shape trade routes and determine the accessibility of certain areas for trade.
