Detailed explanation-1: -The landscape features rocky, mountainous land and many islands. These physical barriers caused population centers to be relatively isolated from each other. The sea was often the easiest way to move from place to place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many Greek communities were not near the sea. Inland communities were separated from each other by rugged mountains and deep valleys. As a result, the communities were fiercely independent and thought of themselves as separate countries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Communities were separated by mountains, hills, and water. Rather than a unified nation, Ancient Greece was more like a network of communities with a shared religion and language that sometimes led to a sense of common belonging.

Detailed explanation-4: -The high mountain ranges enclosed fertile valleys. These valleys were isolated because transportation over the mountains was hazardous. The mountains isolated Greeks from one another, which caused Greek communities to develop their own way of life.
Detailed explanation-5: -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. The Greeks also became good mariners and were able to use their skills to trade with other city-states. Ancient Greeks used to travel via the Aegean Sea from city to city.
