Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Many historians believe the Indus civilisation collapsed because of changes to the geography and climate of the area. Movements in the Earth’s crust (the outside layer) might have caused the Indus river to flood and change its direction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Several reasons led to the decline of the Indus Civilisation in about 1900 BCE. The decline of trade with the Mesopotamians, continuous drought, invasions, floods, a shift in the course of the rivers etc. was considered among the reasons that led to the downfall of the Indus Civilisation.
