Physical Boundary: A physical boundary is a naturally occurring barrier between two areas. Rivers, mountain ranges, oceans, and deserts can all serve as physical boundaries.

Linguistic Boundary: Linguistic boundaries form between areas
where people speak different languages. Major themes surrounding
linguistic boundaries can also be explored in the classroom; check out Crossing Boundaries Through Bi-Iingual, Spoken-word Poetry, an awesome activity from our partners at Thinkfinity and the International Reading Association.
Economic Boundary: Economic boundaries divide people with different incomes or levels of wealth.
Social Boundary: Social boundaries occur where social differences lead to unequal access to resources and opportunities. Some of these boundary issues include race, gender, religion, and physical abilities.
Personal Boundary: Personal boundaries are the physical and emotional
boundaries a person establishes around himself or herself. You can also
bring the lesson of personal boundaries to your geography classroom with
our lesson plan entitled Define Your Personal Territory.
