Why were the Indus and Ganges river valleys ideal location for early settlement?
Support you answer by providing details on these two points:
- how the Indus and the Ganges rivers affected the land nearby
- why two or more other physical features of India were unsuitable for settlement.
The Indus and Ganges rivers were good for settling because they had rich soil around them. They were good for travel and trade, and they were a good source for food and water. People would use the land around the rivers for farming because the soil was rich, and good for crops. People would build boats such as canoes and travel on the rivers to other villages, to trade or just for fun. And of course the water was mostly clean and it attracted animals that the could eat. The Thar Desert and Himalya mountains on the other hand were not ideal places to settle. There was barely any water in the desert and in the mountains the soil was rocky, dry and bad for farming.
