The rivers in the fertile crescent and the proliferation of edible grains made the fertile crescent fertile.
It comprises river valleys where flooding brings down soil each year, refreshes the fertility of the soil, and provides abundant water for crops. The fertile area swings around in a crescent shape.
It was a river valley.
Mesopotamia is located in the fertile crescent
Geographers refer to Mesopotamia as the "Fertile Crescent" due to its rich, arable land that stretches in a crescent shape from the eastern Mediterranean through the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This region's fertile soil, resulting from annual flooding and sediment deposition, made it one of the earliest areas for agriculture and the development of human civilization. The abundance of resources in the Fertile Crescent supported the growth of cities and complex societies, marking it as a crucial center for early human innovation and culture.
The flooding of the Tigris and the Euphrates caused silt that washed from the mountains they flowed from, onto the land making it fertile and that is why Mesopotamia is called the fertile crescent.
The flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, yearly.
The rivers in the fertile crescent and the proliferation of edible grains made the fertile crescent fertile.

flooding was a problem because there was 2 rivers. very limited natural resources
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris%E2%80%93Euphrates_river_systemBasically, the region is a desert and water meant life or death. If you controlled the water then you had power and God made it.the Tigris and Euphrates were so important because they caused flooding in Mesopotamia which fed the soil. the Area between the two rivers is referred to as the fertile crescent. without the flooding the fertile crescent would have become desert like leading to starvation. It is also thought that the fertile crescent is the heart of the neolithic revolution which lead to how we farm today.

because the land is fertile and its good for plants
Fertile land surrounding the Jordan, Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.

The soil in the fertile crescent is so good for crops because they made a system called "irrigation" which simply takes water from the river and waters the crops.
