Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Greek civilization developed into independent city-states because Greece’s mountains, islands, and peninsulas separated the Greek people from each other and made communication difficult. The steep mountains of the Greek geography also affected the crops and animals that farmers raised in the region.
Detailed explanation-3: -Access to the sea meant that Ancient Greece could grow economically. That’s because being on the sea allows for many ports to be built for trade.
