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

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)

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 leads to conflicts between city states (not equal)
