  1. Types of boundaries and shapes

  2. Types of boundaries An antecendent boundary existed before the area was settled. People knew in advance when they moved into a region which side of the border they were living on. Subsequent boundaries are established after an area has been settled. The borders were drawn to accommodate religious, ethnic, language differences. The borders of Northern Ireland and Pakistan/Bangladesh are good examples. A superimposed boundary is a boundary that ignores existing cultural aspects of a region. The continent of Africa is a good example of this boundary. A relic boundary no longer exists but it still has an impact on the landscape.

The Berlin Wall and the border separating East and West Germany no longer exists, but it is still felt economically. The “Iron Curtain” no longer exists, but there is still an economic gap between “east” and “west” in Europe.
