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. These rivers were used for trade and took a big part in agriculture. On the steppe lands of Mongolia, the deserts and oases Xinjiang, and the high plateau of Tibet the people secured the necessities of life. The monsoons of winter and summer affected the crops that could grow and the ?organization of agricultural labor?. The northern plains left two important technology and political traditions. More importantly, it developed philosophical and religious views. The people also constructed dikes, channels, basins, and walls for more population.
