GGR267H5 Chapter Notes -Arabian Sea, Kirthar Mountains
Document Summary
The reading assigned for this week is more detailed than last week but still contains a lot of. Reading #2: thapar, landscapes and peoples (pt. 1) background information. It starts with a section called time and space which talks about how astronomy is used to calculate different cycles and ages among other topics like cosmology. I didn"t understand this section very well nor did i understand the point. The next sections are about how the area is split up and the geographical features. These sections are connected to the lectures very much so. Much of the information discussed in lecture and most of the slides that were put up during class (jan . 14) are directly connected to this section. The reading just adds more detail to what we discussed in lecture. The continent is divided into 3 major regions: the northern mountains, the indo-gangetic plain, and the peninsula. Each area has its own key geographical features.
