Geography - Mapping - be able to identify on a map the following locations:

Taklimakan Desert, Gobi Desert, Himalayas, Yangtze River, Huang He River, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, Bay of Bengal, Anyang Xianyang, Great Wall

What geographic features worked to isolate the Huang He River Valley?

To the north - the Gobi Desert, to the west - the Taklimakan Desert, to the southwest - the Himalay Mountains, to the east the sea leading to the Pacific Ocean.

A fine, dustlike material that blows from the Gobi Desert into the Huang He River which then floods leaving this material behind and forming the fertile farmland.

Walls created to hold back water during the annual flooding

Animal bones or turtle shells carved with written characters that were used to try to foretell the future or to record important events

Pictures (like street signs, emojis) that represent words or ideas. The basis of the written language.

The starting point for the major rivers in this area (Huang He and Yangtze)

This barren gravely rocky desert north of China is the source for the loess which then blows off the desert into the Huang He River and helps form the fertile soil.

Also known as the Yellow River. It turns yellow when it picks up the loess which makes the river muddy.

Area of flatland around the Huang He River. Loess gets deposited in this area and the soil was soft making it an easy place to farm.

The cocoons from silk worms was used to harvest the thread, weave it together and produce silk textiles. This will become a major trade good when trading begins.

Very little trade or travel in this early civilization because of its isolation.

Organized workers, led warriors and battled against other villages to create powerful areas. Shang dynasty grew out of this.

This early pictographic language can still be read and understood.

Many examples of beautiful bronze metalworking exist. Decorative items, weapons, religious items.
