The Pyrenees mountains form the border between which two countries?

• A. Spain and France
• B. France and Italy
• C. Portugal and Spain
• D. Germany and France

Answer: (A)

Natural borders formed by mountain ranges shape how countries meet. The Pyrenees form the boundary between Spain and France, running roughly north–south from the Bay of Biscay to the western Mediterranean. They stretch about 430 kilometers and include Andorra tucked between the two nations. This high, continuous barrier is why Spain lies to the south and France to the north along this range. The other options don’t fit because the Pyrenees are not the divider between France and Italy (that’s the Alps), they don’t define the border between Portugal and Spain, and they don’t separate Germany from France.
