Answer 1

Answer:

1. Periodization is the process of categorizing the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time in order to facilitate the study and analysis of history.
2. The name 'India' is derived from the River Indus, the valleys around which were the home of the early settlers.
3. Rivers were attractive locations for the first civilizations because they provided a steady supply of drinking water and made the land fertile for growing crops.

Periodization is the process of categorizing the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time in order to facilitate the study and analysis of history. This results in descriptive abstractions that provide convenient terms for periods of time with relatively stable characteristics.
