Saarah Murphy 9/11/13 WHAP-chapter 2 Q 1. The key features of the geography in China that led to the advent of civilization were the rivers and the natural barriers. These rivers were used for trade and took a big part in agriculture. On the steppe lands of Mongolia, the deserts and oases Xinjiang, and the high plateau of Tibet the people secured the necessities of life. The monsoons of winter and summer affected the crops that could grow and the ?organization of agricultural labor?. The northern plains left two important technology and political traditions. More importantly, it developed philosophical and religious views. The people also constructed dikes, channels, basins, and walls for more population.

Chapter 2 New Civilizations in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, 2200-250 B.C.E. Notes Chapter Thesis: In contrast to the river-valley civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus Valley surveyed in the previous chapter, the complex societies examined in this chapter subsequently emerge in ecological conditions quite a bit more diverse, sometimes independently, sometimes under the influence of older centers. Whereas the river-valley civilizations were originally largely self-sufficient, each of the new civilizations discussed in this chapter and the next was shaped by the development of networks of long distance trade. Early China, 2000-221 B.C.E.

Earth and Its People: Chapter 2 Early China, 2000-221 B.C.E. Geography and Resources China possesses numerous natural barriers which include: The Himalaya mountains to the southwest The Takla Makan Desert, the?Pamir and Tian mountains to the west The Gobi Desert and Mongolian steppe to the northwest steppe - ?a large area of flat unforested grassland? Pacific Ocean to the east This created a great natural isolation and self-sufficiency (though not nearly as dramatically as with Egypt), China comes into contact with other cultures, but refuses to be influenced Mountains make travel, transport, and communication difficult, and rivers are used for east-west movement For this reason, as well as for predictable flooding, rivers are very important Rivers
