Mesopotamia contains the fertile river systems of the Tigris and Euphrates which supported early agriculture and so the civilisations which grew up there. The Crescent also includes Syria-Lebanon, which made it into a 'crescent' shape.
The fertile crescent is a nickname for Mesopotamia. Fertile means wet and crescent is a little thinner than half moon. There is another nickname for it due to the fact that it is the land between the rivers. This a true statement too because there are two rivers surrounding it they are the Euphrates river and the Tigris river and the Jordan River.
The fertile crescent is a crescent-shaped area in the Middle east. It is composed of Mesopotamia, the area between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates (Iraq and eastern Syria) and the Levant, the coastal areas on the Mediterranean (the coastal area of Syria, Lebanon and part of Israel). The ancient civilisations of this area were the Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians and Phoenicians.

The Fertile Crescent refers to the combination of the Jordan River Valley and Mesopotamia that can support intensive human settlement in the early days of civilization. It is present in the Middle East. It is called a "fertile crescent" because the lands considered part of these river valleys form a crescent.
Fertile Crescent.
The two rivers (Tigris and Euphrates) gave the land ample irrigation for agriculture and life. The weather was also optimal for survival, due to the Mediterranean climate. The soil was fertile--hence the name, "The Fertile Crescent."
It was near important waterways. It had good soil. It was in a river valley.
The fertile crescent was called 'fertile' because around 2000 BCE there was fertile soil that was great for farming. new soil called silt was brought over regularly by floods. This fertility later on helped grow the early cities that lived there. It is worh noting that the Fertile Crescent is entirely in Southwest Asia, not Africa. It is in the current countries of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, and Jordan.
