Answers
GPT 3.5
One key physical feature that affected Mongol expansion was the vast grasslands of the Eurasian Steppe. These grasslands provided ample grazing lands for the Mongol's large herds of horses and livestock, allowing them to sustain their nomadic way of life and support their military campaigns.
Additionally, the open terrain of the steppe allowed the Mongols to easily maneuver their cavalry armies and launch rapid attacks against their enemies. This mobility and quick strike capability gave the Mongols a significant advantage in their conquests.
Furthermore, the mountain ranges and rivers in surrounding regions acted as natural barriers that the Mongols had to navigate as they expanded their empire. While these physical features may have slowed their progress at times, the Mongols were also able to leverage their knowledge of the terrain to outmaneuver their opponents and overcome these obstacles to continue their expansion.
