Vegetation map of Nigeria. Nigeria is covered by three types of vegetation : forests (where there is significant tree cover), savannahs (insignificant tree cover, with grasses and flowers located between trees), and montane land (least common and mainly found in the mountains near the Cameroon border).

The coastline paradox states that a coastline does not have a well-defined length. Measurements of the length of a coastline behave like a fractal, being different at different scale intervals (distance between points on the coastline at which measurements are taken). The smaller the scale interval (meaning the more detailed the measurement ...
The Atlantic Ocean excluding its Arctic and Antarctic regions. List of states and dependent territories with a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean — including the North, Baltic, Mediterranean, and Black Seas — (dependent territories italicized with the sovereign state bracketed).
Landlocked developing countries have significantly higher costs of international cargo transportation compared to coastal developing countries (in Asia the ratio is 3:1). [ 13 ] Historically, traveling between a landlocked country and a country which did not border said country required the traveler to pass border controls twice or more.
The Mediterranean Sea, between Africa and Europe The Atlantic Ocean around the plate boundaries (text is in Finnish). The African and European mainlands are non-contiguous, and the delineation between these continents is thus merely a question of which islands are to be associated with which continent.
The methods of obtaining these figures and exactly what areas they include have not been divulged. The map surface of mainland Asia is entirely contained within a Geodetic quadrangle formed from segments of latitude going through its north and south extremes and segments of longitude passing through the east and west extremes.
Below are separate lists of countries and dependencies with their land boundaries, and lists of which countries and dependencies border oceans and major seas.The first short section describes the borders or edges of continents and oceans/major seas.
However, it does not include lake or river boundaries, which are considered land boundaries. Also included is the number of unique sovereign states [a] that a country or territory shares as neighbors. If the number is higher due to multiple dependencies or unrecognized states bordering the state, the larger number is shown in brackets.
