Answer 1

The attributes of the Phoenician geography that made them rely on imports and exports are the following:

their lack of farmland

their close proximity to the Mediterranean  

Since they were lacking farmlands, it was hard for them to produce their food that would be sufficient for all the people so they relied on imports.

Answer 2

Answer:

Phoenicia relied on imports and exports because of its  geographic position, which lacked the access to farmlands but had easy access to the sea and therefore all the important maritime trade routes of that time.

Explanation:

Phoenicia was a thalassocracy, or an empire at sea, and had a network of merchant cities mostly all over the north of the Mediterranean Sea, split in two with the Greeks, who dominated the southern half. Historians generally believe that it was located on the coastal areas of where Lebanon is today.
