The Great Wall of China is the only human-made structure on Earth that can be seen from space.
6
Chinese societies developed in isolation from the rest of the world.
Chinese borders were protected in southwest by the Himalayan Mountains and the west by the Gobi Desert.
7
Two rivers were very important in ancient China, the Yellow River and the Yangtze.
The rivers provided people with transportation routes, water for washing and drinking, and irrigating crops.
8
The land surrounding the Yellow River is covered in loess; yellow silt from the plains and Gobi desert. The loess was brought into the area by glaciers and from the annual flooding of the Yellow River.
9
The Yellow River was not consistent in level because of unpredictable summer rains; this made it necessary for farmers to learn how to build dikes, dams, canals, and irrigation systems.
