  • Conflict between tribes, emergence of new tribes, and growth in population were the main reasons for migration.

  • Features of the gangetic plain :- Dense forests - Fertile alluvial soil - Plenty of rain

  • Tools made of copper and bronze were used to clear forests, but it was very difficult.

  • Harder metals were necessary to make more effective tools and implements and this led to the invention of iron. The use of iron became widespread in India during the Later Vedic Period and hence this period is known as the Iron Age.
