Uzbekistan is a country found in the continent of Central Asia, which is north of Turkmenistan and south of Kazakhstan. The absolute location of Uzbekistan is 40N, 60E. A positive impact of this location is the climate. The climate ensures that the people of Uzbekistan have a surplus of food because of fertile soil. A negative impact of this location is that since Uzbekistan is a landlocked country and isn't near water, it is harder to trade because it's not easy to transport things to and from Uzbekistan without Oceans nearby.

Uzbekistan also has 11 airports in total. 6 of the airports are international while the rest are not.

An important landform in Uzbekistan is the fergana valley. The fergana valley positively impacts society because it is where most cotton is produced. It also produces lots of fruit and raw silk. The fergana valley negatively impacts society because it doesn't have a lot of water because it is a landlocked country so they constantly fight over water because it's a survival need. People use water everyday for many things such as drinking, cleaning, and agriculture but without water, the people of Uzbekistan cannot do those things. Another important landform in Uzbekistan is the KyzylKum desert. The KyzylKum desert positively impacts society because there are a lot of varieties of animals and plants there. The KyzylKum desert negatively impacts society because there are no water sources.
