Answer 2

The reason oceans and rivers are barriers are because they can prevent trade, they might form natural barriers between places, and they can be difficult to navigate across. The reasons they are roadways is because they can be used to get from one place to another very fast, can help with trading, and can get you someplace you might otherwise not have been able to reach.

Answer 3

Rivers and oceans are considered barriers because they present physical obstacles that are difficult to navigate or cross. Rivers can be wide, fast-flowing, and deep, making them challenging to cross without bridges or boats. Oceans are vast bodies of water that require specialized equipment like boats or planes to traverse, making them natural barriers to movement and communication.

Answer 4

Rivers and oceans form barriers to land transportation that may limit trade unless or until reliable shipping is available. Once this occurs, they can become some of the most valuable means of trade. Originally, they restricted the interaction between peoples without the means to cross them.

Answer 5
