Explanation:
The location of early settlements on the subcontinent was heavily impacted by India's terrain. Rich silt was brought from the mountains to the lowlands by both the Indus and the Ganges rivers. When the rivers overflowed, the silt spread across the plains, making the soil excellent for farming in the river valleys.
