Question

1 mark for review the former international border between east germany and west germany is best described as a an open border b a demilitarized zone c a relict boundary d an antecedent boundary e a geometric boundary

Explanation:

• An open border allows free movement, which the East - West Germany border was not (due to Cold War restrictions).
• A demilitarized zone (DMZ) has limited military presence, but the East - West Germany border was highly militarized (e.g., Berlin Wall).
• A relict boundary is one that no longer functions as a boundary but still has cultural or physical remnants. After German reunification, the former East - West Germany border is a relict boundary as it no longer divides two countries.
• An antecedent boundary is set before significant settlement, which doesn't fit the East - West Germany case (formed after WWII division).
• A geometric boundary is defined by geometric criteria (e.g., latitude/longitude lines), not relevant here.

Answer:

C. a relict boundary
