Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement accurately describes the effect of the geography of ancient Greece on its early development? Independent city-states as a result of the mountainous terrain.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Though the Greek city-states were fiercely independent, these city states did have many things in common. They worshipped the same gods, they spoke the same language, and they had the same cultural background. And in times of foreign invasion (such as the Persian wars), they would band together to fight a common foe.
