The limited fertile land in Greece, primarily confined to small valleys and coastal plains due to the mountainous terrain, compelled the Greeks to adopt a lifestyle centered around agriculture and trade. They cultivated essential crops like olives and grapes, which thrived in the region's climate.

How did the physical geography of Greece affect Greeks?

The mountainous terrain of Greece led to the development of independent city-states due to the natural barriers it provided.

Additionally, the lack of fertile land pushed Greeks to establish colonies around the Mediterranean, spreading their influence.


How did the geography of Greece affect the Greece lifestyle?

Greece is a mountainous peninsula, with several surrounding islands, located in and around the Aegean Sea. It has lots of natural harbors. The rivers are not very useful for trade, since they slow down significantly during certain times of the year. The most plentiful useful natural resource was timber. The combination of these factors led the Greeks to become expert shipbuilders, and to use the sea to make their living. The mountainous terrain led to localism and divisions (the creation of city-states), and served as a barrier to the unification of Greece. Greeks tended to settle either in the pockets of arable (farmable) land, attempting to earn their living off the soil in spite of the mountainous terrain, or near harbors that could be useful in trading.


Why did Many Greek city-states encouraged migration to areas outside of Greece during the 8th and 7th centuries BC?

The land in Greece is not the greatest for farming. So some Greeks settled in other lands to farm and trade.
