Question

All of the following were effects of geography on ancient Chinese civilization EXCEPT:

isolation due to rivers and mountains

fertile soil caused by flood-prone rivers

lack of dependable rainfall

minimal farming land due to dry, hot deserts

Answer 1

I believe your answer is "minimal farming land due to dry, hot deserts" because China is not in a desert region, and even if it was a civilization would not have cropped up there.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

minimal farming land due to dry, hot deserts

Explanation:

The history of China, one of the oldest civilizations in the world with continuity to the present, has its origins in the Yellow River basin where the first Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties emerged. The existence of documents written about 3500 years ago has allowed the development in China of a very precise historiographical tradition, which offers a continuous narrative from the first dynasties to the contemporary age. The Chinese culture, according to the myth, is inaugurated with the three original emperors: Fuxi, Shennong and finally the Yellow Emperor Huang, the latter considered as the true creator of the culture. However, there are no historical records that demonstrate the real existence of these personalities, which according to the oral transmission from generation to generation, would have lived around 5000 to 6000 years ago.
