Detailed explanation-1: -The mountainous terrain of Greece gave rise to the Greek polis (city-states). As a result of the mountainous territory, Ancient Greece consisted of many smaller regions. Each region had its own dialect, cultural traditions and identity as cities tended to be be located in the valleys that lay between mountain ranges.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The mountains of Ancient Greece separated people geographically. Because of this, Greek city-states tended to be isolated from one another. This meant that societies grew and developed independently. City-states had their own governments.
