They mostly have plains, mountains, and forests.
Shiver me Timbers They have a continental climate. (Same as us) They have freezing winters and scorching summers. Their natural resources include hard coal, soft coal, kaolin, graphite, and timber/wood.
How is their geography, climate, and natural resources connected to their daily life and/or jobs. They are connected. They are highly industrial and agricultural. The industrial side is that most of their jobs include working as miners and working in factories. The agricultural side is that Czech has forests and one of their natural resources is timber.
