Explain How Geography and Climate Affected the Growth of Civilization in the Indus River Valley.10/18/2013 Geography and climate both played significant roles in the settlement and development of ancient Indian civilization. The first geographical feature are the Himalayan Mountains located in the northern portion of the Indian subcontinent that separates India from the rest of Asia, preventing invasion. Another feature would be the two rivers, Ganges and Indus which are the foundations of early Indian civilization that make their land livable. The Ganges river flows southeast through a fertile valley, providing the necessary water for a successful harvest. The Indus River flows southwest across a drier plain, in turn affecting how farming was achieved.
Climate was very important in ancient Indian civilization for many reasons. Monsoons are one of the most important. The first monsoon of the season blows from north to northeast periodically from November through March. Little rain is present during this monsoon. During mid-June through October, a second monsoon indicates the 'wet season' which is also know as the southwest monsoon. The timing of these winds are critical. Too little or too late rainfall results in an unsuccessful harvest, yet too much or an extended period of rainfall causes flooding along the country side. Hello fellow readers of my Phoenician blog. I am a Phoenician trader and my name is Adonia, meaning "My Lord is God."
A few weeks ago, I went with my father and his "crew", who are all highly skilled sailors, to trade and see how it feels. Many people believed that we sailed as far as Britain and around the west coast of Africa! I won't tell you if we did I will let you decide.Do you think we did? Anyway, we had one very particular and very important natural resource-lumber. Many people used this lumber to make beautiful and artistic buildings. Us Phoenicians are adept workers in metal and we created beautiful objects of gold and silver which we learned a bit from the Egyptians. Don't you think glass vases are pretty? We'll, we were the ones who invented the wonderful art of glassblowing. On our coast, we also gathered shellfish called murex which we used to make purple dye. Many people prized the cloth dyed with this purple and since it was also a favorite of the rich and royalty, the color became known as royal purple. Umm... I've got to go. My father's calling me. I hope you learned that trading was very important to Phoenicians and we were very talented traders. Do you have anything that could be traded? There were many achievements that the Persians made. I found quite a few interesting facts on the things they invented. Some of them are cement, brick, roads, the numerical systems and some studies in chemistry. They made roads before the Romans did! The Persians also invented some parts in music as well.
Sumerians were attacked by outsiders because they didn't have a body of water or something similar bordering it to protect them from people getting in so easily unlike Egypt.
