The people of the Indus Valley
Based on the passage what is the meaning of the words migrated
began to abandon their cities and and emerge?
settlements around 1900 B.C.
Archaeologist suggest several
reasons why people left. During
this time, a severe drought,
which lasted hundreds of years,
destroyed crops and caused
starvation. Many more people
were killed in earthquakes and
floods, which changed the course
of the Indus River. While the
Indus Valley civilization declined,
groups of people called Aryans
migrated to India. A new
civilization began to emerge on
the subcontinent.
Answer
The meaning of the word "migrated" in the passage is to move from one place to another, usually to settle in a new location.
