WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The rugged, rocky, hilly landscape provided few natural resources for early people. Farmers herded goats and sheep on the hillsides. Land travel was difficult, so Greeks relied on the sea for travel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because farming didn’t produce huge surpluses, and travel across the terrain was difficult, the Greeks came to depend on the sea. People living near the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionian Seas became fishers, sailors, and merchants.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rugged terrain of the Greek landscape meant that flat, fertile land was scarce, and much of the land was too rocky or too steep for farming. The mountainous topography of Greece also made it difficult to transport crops from one region to another.
