WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most early people settled on the North China Plain because of its geography. The Tibet-Qinghai Plateau and Northeastern Plain were too cold and dry for agriculture. The Northwestern Deserts were too dry for agriculture, but the Chang Jiang Basins may have been too wet for farming and covered with rainforests.

Detailed explanation-2: -It’s not surprising that early farmers chose this area to live in. The North China Plain had plenty of water, fertile soil, and a moderate climate. In contrast, the Tibetan Plateau and Northeastern Plain were too cold and dry to grow crops. The Northwestern Deserts were also too dry.

Detailed explanation-3: -The North China Plain encompasses much of Henan, Hebei, and Shandong provinces, as well as the northern portions of Jiangsu and Anhui. Further south, the North China Plain merges with the similarly flat Yangtze Delta. The North China Plain is fertile, and it is one of the most densely populated regions in the world.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plain is one of China’s most important agricultural regions, producing corn, sorghum, winter wheat, vegetables, and cotton. Its nickname is “Land of the yellow earth."
