Come up with some ideas for each country in this table.

The 3 main types of environment are: Cities Mountains Coasts Look back at your picture cards and try to categorise them again into these 3 groups. On the back of your A3 sheet, give as many reasons as you can as to why these environments are popular, with examples that you can think of.
