Things that could be physical geography! are, trees such as, white ash, hemlock, spruce, etc. another thing that could describe Cardigan with physical geography is the mountain.

Cultural geography!

Physical geography is about anything that has to do with people. Some physical geography about cardigan is the erosion. While you're hiking up you can see where people have been walking and how there is like half a foot of air where dirt has been. Another example of Cardigan is the metal plate at the top of the mountain.
