Summary

A physical feature is anything on the land that was formed by nature, not built by people. Physical features shape how and where people live, farm, and travel.

Kenya's physical features fall into two groups: relief features, which are about the shape and height of the land, and drainage features, which are about lakes and rivers. In this topic, you will learn the most important physical feature in each group.
