Question

1. if virginia was bordered on every side by land, which would it not have? a. mountains to hike and ski down b. rivers to fish in and boat on c. beaches to play on and an ocean to swim in d. warm weather and changing seasons

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Mountains are land - based features, so even if Virginia is land - locked, it could still have mountains.
• Option B: Rivers are land - based water bodies (flowing through land), so a land - locked Virginia could still have rivers.
• Option C: Beaches and oceans are associated with coastlines (borders with water). If Virginia is bordered on every side by land (land - locked), it would not have beaches or an ocean to swim in.
• Option D: Warm weather and changing seasons are related to climate, which is not dependent on having a coastline. A land - locked Virginia could still have warm weather and changing seasons.

Answer:

C. Beaches to play on and an ocean to swim in
