North and South Korea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>geometric boundary<\/strong> is a political boundary defined by straight lines, often following lines of latitude or longitude, regardless of physical or cultural landscapes. These boundaries are typically drawn based on a grid system, ignoring natural features like rivers, mountains, or cultural factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s break down the options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>North and South Korea (A)<\/strong>: This boundary is not geometric. The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that separates the two countries follows a military front from the end of the Korean War and runs across the Korean Peninsula, influenced by both natural and strategic factors. It is not a straight line but a heavily militarized zone shaped by historical and geopolitical factors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chile and Argentina (B)<\/strong>: This boundary is mostly defined by the Andes Mountains, a physical feature, but parts of it are straight, drawn by latitude and longitude lines in the flat regions, making parts of it geometric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (C)<\/strong>: Their boundary follows the 141st meridian east, which is a straight line of longitude. This makes it a geometric boundary, as it is based purely on a grid system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>United States and Canada (D)<\/strong>: A significant portion of the boundary between the U.S. and Canada, such as the section along the 49th parallel, is a straight line, making it a geometric boundary. It was established through agreements between the two countries and follows a fixed latitude.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, <strong>A. North and South Korea<\/strong> is not an example of a geometric boundary, as it follows neither straight lines nor latitude\/longitude markers, but rather natural and strategic contours shaped by political conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following is not an example of a geometric boundary?A North and South KoreaB Chile and ArgentinaC Indonesia and Papua New GuineaD United States and Canada The Correct Answer and Explanation is : The correct answer is A.
