English Definition
The study of Earth's physical features and human societies. Poland's geography is defined by the North European Plain — mostly flat terrain making it historically vulnerable to invasion from east and west. Key geographic features include the Baltic Sea coast, the Tatra Mountains (shared with Slovakia), the Vistula River (Poland's longest at 1,047 km), and the Oder River (forming the western border with Germany).
Example
“Wisła — najdłuższa rzeka Polski — przepływa przez Kraków i Warszawę do Morza Bałtyckiego.”
In English: “The Vistula — Poland's longest river — flows through Krakow and Warsaw to the Baltic Sea.”
