Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Greece is a mostly mountainous country with a very long coastline, filled with peninsulas and islands. The climate can range from semi-desert to cold climate mountain forests. Greece’s natural hazards include severe earthquakes, floods, droughts and wildfires.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mountains isolated Greeks from one another, which caused Greek communities to develop their own way of life. Greece is made up of many mountains, isolated valleys, and small islands. This geography prevented the Greeks from building a large empire like that of Egypt or Mesopotamia.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main physical geographic features of Ancient Greece are mountains, islands, and the sea. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -People living near the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionian Seas became fishers, sailors, and merchants. Because of Greece’s location in the eastern Mediterranean, it was a perfect location for trade.
