Some present-day countries with geographic boundaries that have changed little since 1520 include Japan, Morocco, Portugal, and Sweden. These countries have maintained relatively stable borders over the centuries due to factors such as strong national identities, geographic barriers, and limited expansionist ambitions.
Natural boundaries, such as rivers or mountains, provide clear and recognizable borders that are difficult to dispute or change. They can also act as a natural defense, deterring potential invaders due to the geographical obstacles they present. In addition, natural boundaries can be valuable for preserving ecosystems and wildlife habitats by limiting human encroachment.
The breakup of Pangaea involved the gradual drifting apart of the tectonic plates carrying the continents. This movement created new ocean basins and shifted landmasses to their current positions over millions of years. Today's configuration of continents is a result of this ongoing process of plate tectonics.
· Origin based boundaries: Also called Genetic Political Boundaries because it has to do with the evolution of boundaries. · Pioneered by American political geographer Richard Harshorne (1899-1992) · Antecedent: Certain boundaries were defined and delimited before the present-day human landscape was developed. · Example: Border between Malaysia and Indonesia on the island of Borneo. · Subsequent: Boundary evolved as the cultural landscape of an area took shape. · Example: The border between China and Vietnam was the result of a long term process of adjustment and modification. · Superimposed: Boundary that is forcibly drawn across a unified cultural landscape. · Example: Island of New Guinea that separates Indonesia's West Papua from the country of Papua New Guinea. · Relict: A border that has ceased to function but whose imprints are still evident on the cultural landscape. · Example: The border between former North and South Vietnam.
An antecedent boundary refers to a boundary line that was established before the present-day cultural landscape was developed. These boundaries may have been based on natural features like rivers or mountains, or on previous political or historical factors, and can influence current political and cultural divisions.
Most English Catholics settled in Maryland.
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
Maryland does not have (at this present time) a state amphibian.
No. No identification is requested at the polls for Maryland voters.

No leaders were present. The boundaries were decided centuries ago by the leaders of the European countries that conquered most of Africa.
