Select all the correct answers. which two geographic features prevented enemies from attacking china? the gobi desert the himalayas the yangtze river the huang he river the tibetan plateau

The Himalayas and The Huang He River.

The Gobi Desert and The Himalayas

Explanation:

The Gobi Desert to the north is the fifth-largest desert in the world. It is also the coldest desert. The Gobi experiences bitter cold and even frost. Temperatures there drop as low as –40 degrees Fahrenheit but rise to 122 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. The Taklimakan Desert is located to the west of China. It is extremely harsh and dry.

The hostile and extreme climates of both deserts made them dangerous for foreign enemies to cross in ancient times. The deserts acted as natural barriers to China. They protected the civilization from outside invaders.

The Himalayas surround the Plateau of Tibet in western China. It is the largest plateau on earth. The Plateau of Tibet is often called the “roof of the world” because it rises 14,763 feet, or nearly 3 miles, above sea level. Melting snow from the mountains flows onto the plateau. This fresh water feeds rivers that cross the plateau, including the Huang He and Yangtze. The Plateau of Tibet also protected ancient civilizations from outsiders. Its harsh, cold climate made it impossible for people to cross.
