Feature (geography)

A feature in geography is like a special part of the ground that stands out or is noticeable. It can be a physical feature, like a mountain or a river, or a human-made feature, like a street or a building.

Imagine you are looking at a big map of your city. You see lots of different parts on the map, right? Streets, parks, rivers, hills, buildings. Each of these parts is a feature - something that makes that place unique and special.

So when you hear people talking about features in geography, they are talking about these important and interesting parts of the world around us. It helps us to understand more about a place and how it is different from others.
