Why is the Nile Delta area called Lower Egypt?
A river always flows from the highest to lowest elevation, and so Lower Egypt is in the North and Upper Egypt is in the South. It seems backwards, but it does make sense because Lower Egypt has lower elevation than Upper Egypt so the delta empties there. It obviously makes more sense that a river flows downhill instead of uphill.

Why is Lower Canada above Upper Canada?
The terms relate to the direction of the flow of the St. Lawrence, which flows from south to north and empties into the Atlantic ocean. The custom of drawing maps with north at the top and south at the bottom is just a custom. There is no real "up" or "down" to those directions, just orientation on a page. ====================================================== The "Upper" in Upper Canada referred to elevation, it being upstream, higher in elevation. Likewise, the "Lower" in Lower Canada referred to it being downstream, lower in elevation.

NO. Wyoming is along a line of higher latitude, making the average temperature lower. Also, the average elevation is approximately 6,000 feet, making the air much colder.

The record lowest temperature in Wyoming is -64 degrees F, and the record high is 114 degrees.
