Geography Reflection

Geography Reflection:

Olmec:
The Olmecs lived along the Gulf of Coast. Now days it is named as Mexico. They settled near the rivers which allowed them to farm a lot. Usually after the river floods there was left alluvial soil, it was type of that was very fertile. The geography of their civilisation helped them to develop and grow a lot of crops.
Mayan:
The Mayans started their villages in the northern of Guatemala. Their villages were in the highlands and lowlands of MesoAmerica. The climate in the northern Guatemala was dry and cool. This climate didn't allow them to do farming. So they did their farming in the Yucatan Peninsula, where it was hot and dry. This climate allowed them to farm.
Aztec:
The Aztecs settled in Tenochtitlan. Around Tenochtitlan the land aaas very farming with very small farm lands. They couldn't grow a lot of crops, this effected their culture. But Aztecs fixed that mistake. They built chinampas, which helped to grow crops.
Inca:
The Incas settled in the most fertile lands, and their elevation was more than 11,000 ft. The climate there was dry and cool. They lived near the Andes mountains and living next to these mountains was very hard. It made their lives challenging. Farming was very difficult, because the lands were too high. To grow crops, they made irrigation systems which allowed them to bring water to their lands.
