Objectives: I can answer geographic questions about early Europe including: Where is it located? Why did people settle there? What is significant about its location? How is its location related to that of other people, places, and environments
Because of the physical geography of Greece, the ancient civilization of Greece developed much later and differently than Ancient Egypt. Greece is a small country in the southeastern part of Europe. It is made up of a peninsula of land and numerous small islands.
Greece is mountainous with few rivers, poor soil, and hot, dry summers. The Ancient Greeks had to adapt to these harsh conditions in order to survive.
Use the resources provided to learn about the geography of Ancient Greece.
