This is the region known from antiquity as the fertile crescent. It stretches from the Nile valley of Egypt, through the lands which occupy the territory of ancient Phoenicia and Mesopotamia and down to the Persian Gulf. Most of western Asia is arid or semi-arid and it's difficult to get a living there by farming. The rich lands of the crescent enabled nomadic peoples to settle down, live well and have enough surplus to found the first civilisations. For this reason the region is also known as the cradle of civilisation. Many inventions were made there, from irrigation to writing and the wheel. It was home to civilisations such as the Egypt of the Pharaohs, Assyria, Babylon and the trading empire of the Phoenicians.
The arc of rich farmland in Southwest Asia is known as the Fertile Crescent. It stretches from the Nile River in Egypt to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern-day Iraq. This region is historically significant as one of the early cradles of civilization due to its fertile soil and access to water.
The past tense of "arc" is "arced" or "arched."
Arc: a curved line or shape Arc: a part of a circle Ark: a large boat or vessel, such as Noah's Ark
An island arc forms when two tectonic plates converge and one oceanic plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. The subducted plate melts, creating magma that rises to the surface and forms a volcanic arc of islands. This process is typically associated with ocean-ocean plate boundaries.
The Aleutian Island Arc is a chain of volcanic islands located in the Northern Pacific Ocean, stretching from Alaska to Russia. It is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate, resulting in volcanic activity and frequent earthquakes along the arc. The Aleutian Islands are part of the larger Ring of Fire, known for its seismic and volcanic activity.
The construction of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris began in 1806 and was completed in 1836.

There's no city there. That point is in a cultivated field about 2 km southwest of the farming town of Sainte-Lizaigne in north-central France. It's about 31 km west-southwest of Bourges, 175 km southeast of LeMans, and 209.5 km south-southwest of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Joan of Arc had a good relationship with her parents. Her father was a farmer, and the family owned around 50-acres of farmland. Her father supplemented his income with a minor position as a village official, collecting taxes and heading the local watch. Joan was born and lived in an isolated part of eastern France during her childhood.
