What was it about the land of Mongolia that caused its people to live as nomads throughout history? The land is poorly suited for farming--most people living on the steppe survive by herding animals. There is very little water in the region that is safe to drink, so people on the steppe are constantly looking for new sources. There was never enough land to accommodate the number of people in a single tribe. It was not the land that causes the people to be nomadic but their love of traveling to exotic places.

The land is poorly suited for farming--most people living on the steppe survive by herding animals.  

Explanation:

The Mongols began their nomad journey because of the unavailability to settle in a fertile region where they could promote agriculture. In this way, most of the population suffered from grazing animals and lived migrating from region to region looking for water for themselves and animals, as well as looking for pastures so that animals could eat. This established a very difficult and precarious life, where people and animals suffered from the lack of resources necessary for their survival.
