Think Mesopotamia between the rivers- water is good for agriculture, and agriculture means permanent settlement is possible . Egypt had this same relationship with the Nile. If the settlement is between mountains, it would be safer from attack or takeover, whereas a settlement in a more accessible area- think Greece- would likely develop I to more of a trade nation
Mountains in East and Southern Africa influence the physical geography by creating barriers that affect weather patterns and the distribution of natural resources. They also contribute to biodiversity by providing unique habitats for flora and fauna. In terms of human geography, mountains can influence settlement patterns and agricultural practices, as well as play a role in traditional beliefs and cultural practices of indigenous populations.
