Saarah Murphy 9/11/13 WHAP-chapter 2 Q 1. The key features of the geography in China that led to the advent of civilization were the rivers and the natural barriers.

More importantly, it developed philosophical and religious views. The people also constructed dikes, channels, basins, and walls for more population.
