They had grasslands which were helpful for growing many crops for food and they could make buildings and have many places for homes. They had many rivers that would connect and give them a sort of transportation. The had deserts that were hard to grow crops and it does not rain much in the desert so they would have no source of water for crops or drinking use. Some of there deserts were the go I desert and the Taklamakan Desert.                                But they also had forests that they could use for buildings and homes. They had many mountains that could give them water from up high and the water would run down the mountain and they could use that water to water crops and drink.
