A natural boundary is a boundary that is defined by natural features, such as a strait, a mountain range etc. A physical boundary is can be an imaginary boundary that is drawn on a map, which is not shown in real life, something like a political boundary.

∙ 12y agoA natural boundary is something physical, such as a river, sea, mountain range, etc.
A political boundary is a man made line drawn on a map, it can seperate countries from each other e.g Border between Canada and the USA. It can also be smaller such as a State, city or even suburb of a city.
Some times a boundary can be both. For example the River Tweed is the border between the countries of England and Scotland. The River then is a natural boundary AND a political boundary. The reason many natural boundaries are also a political boundary is because they are easy to use as a natural reference point when drawing treaties and maps.

What is the difference between a physical boundary and a political boundary?
the difference between a political and a physical boundary is that a physical map shows geographical features like mountains and rivers while a political map shows boundaries. One is made by people(politicians), the other by nature. So , occasionally, a political boundary will be a straiight line but there are no straight lines in nature. A river is a common and convenient, physical boundary with two obvious sides. Sometimes, a river may run between two countries and thus becomes an example of a physical boundary serving as a political boundary.A mountain range may serve a similar purpose.

What is the difference between natural and artificial boundaries?
A natural boundary might be something like a river, mountain range, or an ocean. These are generally considered to be obstructions which prevent crossing without additional equipment or assistance, such as a boat or horses to carry what you need to cross a mountain range. A political boundary would be a real or imagined line in the sand that defines the boundary of a nation or state. For example, Australia's boundary is an ocean and Switzerland's boundary is defined by mountains, these are both physical and natural boundaries.
