Poncho Villa (pictured to the right), the son of a poor farm laborer, became a folk hero in Mexico. He gained popularity by stealing from the rich in order to give to the poor. Villa's knowledge of the physical geography of northern Mexico helped him avoid being captured. Why would Poncho's geographic knowledge help him from being captured?

Poncho's geographic knowledge could help him get away from the rich people.

Explanation:

If, for example, there was a river.  The rich people he stole from did not have any boats or rafts.  Poncho might have already prepared for that and knows there is a river.  This allows Poncho to get away.

Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
