There were many reasons why the Mesopotamians moved from the Zagros Mountains to the plains. One reason why the Mesopotamians moved to the plains was because there was an over population in Mesopotamia. They had too many babies and besides the increase of population there was not enough food provided to the Mesopotamians. Another example why they moved to the plains was because the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers would either flood or cause droughts. The way this was solved was by creating irrigation systems and levees. These are reasons why the Mesopotamians moved from the Zagros Mountains to the plains of Mesopotamia.

What is the geography of the present time in mesopotamia?

Mesopotamia had fertile soil and lots of trees. But then the Mesopotamians came along and cut down all the trees and made their houses with them so they ran out of trees and then started making houses with mud bricks. So now Mesopotamia is a large area with lots of old houses between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Mesopotamia has very level lands with mountains in the distance. It has ziggarats, temples, and large and small houses all made out of mud bricks. The Mesopotamians were very smart and they were able to make all those structures out of mud bricks. Mud bricks are very hard to make and its a surprise that Mesopotamians were able to discover how to make them. You have to take clay, sand mud, and water and mix them together with a binding of either rice husks or wheat and then let them dry for 25 days in the sun. When their finished they look like normal bricks except there brown and that's what Mesopotamia looks like.
