What role did geography play in the rise of the three great west african empires: ghana, mali, and songhai?

The empires of Ghana, Mali and Songhai were located in areas that were conducive to the development of great empires. These empires covered a large extension of land with very different weather and ecosystems, including the Sahara desert and the thick jungles south of the Niger River.
