=PHYSICAL Geography= =In Spain there are a lot of rivers. There are three rivers that I thought were very important to Spain's physical geography. The names of the three rivers that I chose are the Duero Mino river, Tajo river, and the Guidana river. I chose these three rivers because they are the rivers taht rise up in Spain, and flow through Portugal. I also chose a very important mountain to spain's physical geography. The mountain that I chose was the Pyrenees Mountains. I chose this mountain range because it is the mountain that seperates Spain from France.=
