3. Coastal Terrain A lot of it Jagged, most of settlements near coast Natural harbours Lots of islands (in Med. Sea, Aegean Sea) Therefore, depend on sea; lots of foreign contact, trade, colonies; possibly vulnerable to invasion

4. Physical Map Darker colours = higher altitudes Mountains of Greece. N.d. www.in2greece.comwww.in2greece.com (Feb. 4, 2012).

5. Inland terrain Mountainous (steep but not that high) Rocky: not suitable to large-scale agriculture like Egypt (not wheat) Hot and dry summers, little rainfall Therefore: mountains prevented areas from unifying; independent city-states (polis) formed

7. Resources

8. Natural Resources Few, unevenly distributed Gold, silver Marble (monuments, sculpture) Iron ore Clay (pottery) Olive trees, grape vines Therefore: trade of their major products, sometimes led to conflicts between city states (not equal in the resources they possessed)
