Detailed explanation-1: -Greece has the longest coastline in Europe and is the southernmost country in Europe. The mainland has rugged mountains, forests, and lakes, but the country is well known for the thousands of islands dotting the blue Aegean Sea to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Ionian Sea to the west.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greece has no great rivers to form fertile valleys. Instead, it is a mountainous land with deep valleys and rugged highlands. Because of the mountains, it does not have much land that can be used for farming. The rugged landscape influenced the development of Greek civilization.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greece was a mainly mountainous landscape, with the Pindus Mountains and Mount Olympus, surrounded by water on three sides by the Ionian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea. This meant that the Greek city-states of Ancient Greece were separated by mountains and water.
Detailed explanation-4: -The geography of Greece affected the development because the mountains divided Greece and isolated Greeks from each other. This started rivalry between the communities. The seas also influenced the development because Greece is surrounded by water. This led Greeks to become seafarers.
