Both cities have extensive wetlands around the cities.
Both cities are landlocked with no easy access to the oceans.
Both cities have extensive wetlands around the cities.
The factor of the physical geography that is common to both Miami and Monrovia is that both cities have made great efforts to preserve the natural environment around the city.
To determine which of the options is a factor of the physical geography of both Miami and Monrovia, we need to evaluate each option based on the characteristics of the two cities.
1. "Urban sprawl is limited for both cities by mountain ranges that surround them."
To determine if this option is a factor for both Miami and Monrovia, we need to verify if both cities are surrounded by mountain ranges that limit urban sprawl. First, let's investigate Miami's physical geography. Miami is located in a relatively flat coastal plain, without any significant mountain ranges in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, this option does not apply to Miami. Next, let's explore Monrovia. Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, is situated along the Atlantic coast and does not have mountain ranges in close proximity either. Consequently, this option does not apply to Monrovia either.
2. "Both cities have made great efforts to preserve the natural environment around the city."
To determine if this option is a factor for both Miami and Monrovia, we need to assess if both cities have actively worked to conserve their natural surroundings. In the case of Miami, it is known for its conservation efforts to protect the Everglades and other natural areas. Monrovia, on the other hand, does not have specific information readily available on its conservation efforts. Therefore, while Miami aligns with this option, we cannot confirm if Monrovia does the same.
3. "Both cities have extensive wetlands around the cities."
To determine if this option is a factor for both Miami and Monrovia, we need to ascertain if both cities are surrounded by significant wetlands. Miami, being located in the southern part of Florida, is indeed surrounded by extensive wetlands, particularly the Everglades. However, we cannot confirm if Monrovia, in Liberia, has comparable wetlands around the city since specific information is not readily available.
4. "Both cities are landlocked with no easy access to the oceans."
To determine if this option is a factor for both Miami and Monrovia, we need to confirm if both cities are landlocked, meaning surrounded by land with no proximity to oceans. Miami, being situated on the southeastern coast of Florida, has easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, and is not landlocked. Monrovia, as the capital of Liberia, is located on the country's western coast, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Thus, Monrovia also has access to the ocean and is not landlocked.
Based on our analysis, none of the given options is a factor of the physical geography of both Miami and Monrovia. The correct answer is none of the above.
