What are the names of two rivers that flow throw the Fertile Crescent?
Tigris and Euphrates
What is the location of early civilizations?
The location of development for many of the earliest civilizations was the Fertile Crescent. This was an area between the Nile Valley and Western Asia. The land here was very fertile and there was a large source of water, both of which are needed to support a population. The rivers that fed into the Fertile Crescent were the Tigris and Euphrates in Asia, and the Nile in Upper and Lower Egypt.
How are fertile crescents related to the Blue and White Nile?
A fertile crescent is a bit of fertile land in the middle of a desert or dry area. The Blue and White Nile are rivers that flow into the hot, dry, desert areas of northeastern Africa. When the rivers overflow, the deposit sediment and water onto the land. This sediment is very fertile, so plants begin to grow. Eventually, the land becomes very fertile and forms a fertile crescent around the banks of the Blue and White Nile. That is how fertile crescents relate to the Blue and White Nile. *This answer was posted by a 7th grader from Snelson Golden Middle School from Liberty County, Georgia. To all you "smart" adults out there that failed to answer this question, you are NOT snnarter than a seventh grader!*
Why were civilizations in the Fertile Crescent frequently invaded?
Various groups from inside and from outside the area sought to control Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, Babylon) because of the fertile agricultural land between the rivers. Much of the adjacent geographic areas are comparatively dry.
Why are Ganga-Brahmaputra basin very fertile?
it is because the rivers bring very fertile soil called alluvium which is best for agriculture,then the soil is deposited on the plain and theLplain is thats whty very fertile.
How do the rivers of the northern plains make the land fertile?
The rivers carry silt and sediment, which they get from the mountains due to soil erosion. (the rivers flow extremely fast due to a steep slope) Due to less gradient of slope in the N.Plains, the rivers flow more sluggishly and are not able to carry the silt anymore. So, they deposit these minerals on their banks (forming flood plains if they flood) causing the land to become fertile.
Where are the Tigris and Euphrates located at?
The Tigris and Euphrates River is located in ancient Mesopotamia, now Iraq.
What rivers flow uphill and under what conditions?
The Nille River flows uphill

Rivers flow west?
Rivers flow down.
How are rivers in the great basin different from most other rivers?
Small streams flow into rivers and the rivers flow to bigger rivers.
Why was the fertile crescent an idel place for nomadic people to settle and build cities?
The fertile crescent is no longer the ideal place to live. First of all, the area between the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is in The Middle East, a politically very unstable area.The Suez Canal has also changed the natural flow of the rivers. The area remains productive for food, but not exactly the gracious plenty it used to provide and the population increasing, the Nile crocodiles! Not my idea of a Garden spot. Nevertheless, we continue to hold this area in high regard as the most likely " Cradle of Civilization".
