Answer 1

The following statements accurately describe Russia's geography:

1. Estonia, Latvia, and Belarus all border Russia to the west.
2. Russia has thousands of miles of coastline but very few port cities because the Arctic Ocean is icebound much of the year.

The incorrect statements are:

• The Volga is Russia's most famous river, but it flows south into the Caspian Sea, not north into the Arctic Ocean. It is also extensively used for transportation and commerce.

• Most of Russia lies in Asia, with a smaller portion in Europe. The Ural Mountains are commonly considered the dividing line between Europe and Asia, and a significant part of Russia's land area lies in the Asian part.
