Explain why the Rio Grande is a good border between Texas and Mexico. Use observations from the map to support your claim.
Rivers are generally preferred as borders because they are a major part of the physical landscape and change course slowly over hundreds of years. The Rio Grande runs from the Gulf of Mexico very far inland, providing a distinct, long border.
Rivers should never be used as borders. The fact that the Rio Grande is the border between Mexico and the United States doesn't make sense. They should have made the bottom of Texas a straight line.
