The states are sovereign insofar as they resemble or are “like” some other sovereign, such as a nation or person. Under this “status sovereignty,” states are deemed to be inherently entitled to sovereign rights like autonomy and equality, and to possess sovereign characteristics like “dignity,” “respect,” and “esteem.”

State: A part of the earth’s land surface which is organized under a government and has boundaries. Nation-state: High coincidence between the territory occupied by a nation and that which is organized as a state – A nation which has its own political structure for the territory it occupies.

What is one negative impact of a unitary states? Unequal representation, caused by differing languages, ethnicities and religions. Groups of people feel unrepresentated and rebel against the government, wearing the country. Inequality between different regions can occur.

What’s the difference between political and physical on a map? Political Maps: A political map focuses on boundaries between entities, like countries, states or counties. A physical map focuses on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys.

A natural boundary would be that boundary caused by a river, mountain range, ocean, or lake or some other geographic, physical item. A political boundary is one that is a line on a map. The partition line of Berlin after WWII is an example of a political boundary, an ocean is an example of a natural boundary.

Divergent boundaries — where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries — where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries — where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.

The collision between two plates that are moving towards each other is called a convergent boundary. When two continental plates converge the result is the formation of large folded mountains. The classic example is the collision between the Indian plate and the Asia plate. The result is the Himalayan mountains.
