Cyber Day Assignment - Greece is the Word!

The world's greatest civilizations were all located on rivers...

• Mesopotamia- Tigris and Euphrates Rivers 
• Egypt- Nile River 
• India- Indus River 
• China- Huang He River 

Question 1: Greece is very mountainous in almost every part but there are plains in eastern parts of Greece and in central Macedonia. Western Greece contains lakes and wetlands.
Greece is surrounded by large amounts of water but they also have mountains and plains. So basically they have the best of both worlds and have the advantage of all three of those things. Accompanying this is considerable climatic variation which is also helpful for crops and stuff like that. In Ancient Greece, I'm sure the amount of water was very helpful and still is, for transportation.  

Question 2 : The Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea surround Greece. 

Question 3: Crete is the large island to the south/southeast of Greece. 

Question 4: Sparta is located on the right bank of the Eurotas River somewhat close to Sparta but Athens is located higher up than Sparta. They are both very close to bodies of water.
