Geography impacted the development of past civilizations because it determines how successful they become and how much they can benefit from their geography or suffer from it. For example, the geography of Ancient Greece was very mountainous and not much fertile land. This led to the need for trade because they could not grow many crops and also individual city-states without unity because they were each blocked off from each other by the mountains. This eventually led to a civil war in Greece and then the downfall of Ancient Greece.

What are 2 positive effects geography had on ancient Greek civilization?

Geography played a crucial role in shaping ancient Greek civilization by fostering the development of independent city-states due to the mountainous terrain, which created natural barriers and encouraged localized governance. Additionally, Greece's proximity to the sea facilitated trade and cultural exchange with other civilizations, enhancing economic prosperity and spreading Greek culture across the Mediterranean. These factors contributed significantly to the political and cultural evolution of ancient Greece.


What is the effect of human civilizations on cartography?

I'm assuming you mean the effects of civilization on GEOGRAPHY. Cartography is the study of map making. Geography influenced civilization by isolating, protecting, bringing forth vulnerabilities, destroying places, et cetera. There have been famous Roman battles won or lost simply because of the Geography of the Mediterranean. Humans influence geography as well, cutting through mountains, straightening rivers, digging channels, erecting flood gates, all usually end of being negative to the environment. Coastlines, rivers, mountains and plains alike are not safe from the reshaping due to civilization. How civilization can influence cartography? I guess as civilizations grow, explorers learn more of the region and were able to map more accurately. But that's just a guess.
