Detailed explanation-1: -The mountains and the seas of Greece contributed greatly to the isolation of ancient Greek communities. Because travel over the mountains and across the water was so difficult, the people in different settlements had little communication with each other. Travel by land was especially hard.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greek city-states likely developed because of the physical geography of the Mediterranean region. The landscape features rocky, mountainous land and many islands. These physical barriers caused population centers to be relatively isolated from each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ancient Greek communities were isolated from each other by mountains, which made travel and communication difficult.
Detailed explanation-4: -GREECE-ISLANDS Islands are completely surrounded by water. These islands were covered by mountains and it was hard to communicate with other parts of Greece (because they were all separated).
Detailed explanation-5: -Second, Greece’s mountainous terrain led to the development of the polis (city-state), beginning about 750 B.C.E. The high mountains made it very difficult for people to travel or communicate. Therefore, each polis developed independently and, often, very differently from one another.
