Why is transporatation by boat unrealistic in southwest Asia?
It is not unrealistic; there are numerous boats that go up and down the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. However, the vast majority of Southwest Asia does not have navigable rivers and there are only three year-round rivers (Tigris, Euphrates, and Jordan). As a result, you need a form of land or air transportation to get from place to place.

Did the fertile soil in the fertile crescent come from the tigris and euphrates?
YES. The fertile soil in the eastern half of the Fertile Crescent came from the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. However, the fertile soil in the western half of the Fertile Crescent came the Jordan River and the several small streams that coalesce to form it.
Where are delta rivers located at?
River deltas form where rivers meet the sea.
Where does the Tigris empty into?
In southern Iraq the Tigris River is joined by the River Euphrates. They run together as a single river roughly 120 miles (193 km), and empty into the Persian Gulf. The Iraqis call this confluence of rivers by the Arabic name, Shatt al-Arab, "Coast/Beach of the Arabs." The Iranians call it by the middle Persian name for the Tigris River, Arvand Rud, or "Swift River."Both great Middle East rivers begin on their own far north in the modern-day country of Turkey. The lower nearly half of the joined rivers, the last 50 miles or so, forms the border between the modern-day countries of Iraq and Iran (formerly Persia), down to the river mouth, where it empties into the gulf.The huge fertile delta between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, long known as Mesopotamia, literally means "between the rivers." In Greek, meso is "middle, between" and potam- is the prefix form of "river." Some of the world's oldest civilizations established in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago, and this region in Southwest Asia is also called, The Cradle of Civilization.
