Use the map below to answer questions 6-8.

6(a)Based on what you know about what places need to have in order for cities to grow, circle

locations you think might be good for people to settle. Label each location.(Answers will vary.)

6(b) Look at the locations that you circled: Identify and Explain what physical features are nearby that

would lead to the growth of cities

LOCATION 1: I chose this location because it is near a river; a river is a fresh water source that would be a quality source that supports life and trade. It would also allow the building of an irrigation system.

LOCATION 2: I chose this location because it is located near the foothills of a mountain range; this might allow snow that has melted in the higher altitudes to run off the mountain slopsand fertilize the topsoil nearby.

LOCATION 3: I chose this location because it is near a water source; this might also be a goodspot because it could develop into a trich rading center where people from nearby regions could

sea travel to.
