A compact shape in geography refers to a country or continent having a more circular or symmetrical outline. In the case of Africa, its compact shape allows for relatively balanced proportions and an ease of travel and communication within its borders.
Countries like Chile, Italy, and Poland are known for having more compact shapes due to their relatively long but narrow land areas. These countries have a high ratio of land area to the perimeter of their borders, making them more compact in shape compared to countries with irregular borders.
A compact country is a nation that has a shape that does not have many indentations or irregularities, making it relatively easy to govern and maintain communication and transportation networks across its territory. Examples of compact countries include Poland and Austria.
Chile has one of the most compact territorial shapes among countries, stretching over 4,300 kilometers in length while averaging just 177 kilometers wide. This elongated shape has earned it the nickname "The Land of Poets."
Africa and South America are similar in physical outline shape. This resemblance is due to the way these continents used to fit together as part of the supercontinent Pangaea.
