Border Links

This worksheet asks students to explain how Asia connects physically and geographically to Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Students examine natural boundaries such as the Ural Mountains, the Suez region, and the Pacific coastline. It encourages thinking about how landforms and bodies of water shape continents. The final prompt asks students to reflect on why certain continental connections are important for trade and travel.

Students strengthen their explanatory writing by forming complete, well-supported responses. The worksheet builds geographic reasoning by exploring how continents relate to one another. It develops the ability to describe boundaries, connections, and landscape features clearly. Students also practice applying prior knowledge to real-world geographic relationships.
