Why are the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers dangerous to the Sumerians?
The Sumerian's City-States depended on the swamp lands located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers' Fertile Crescent. Due to the constant flooding, this Fertile Crescent formed by making the Persian Gulf to recede from its previous shores. The floods brought much fertile top soil down from the mountains that gradually filled that section of the Persian Gulf. The Sumerians had built high walls around their city to divert the periods of flooding waters. This swamp land being plowed and used for Sumer's agricultural land, that fed their people, had gradually brought up a salty water that would kill their crops. The land became not fit to grow anything. So the Sumerians had to relocate to a better land for to grow their crops as to feed their people.

Why is Mesopotamia called the fertile crescent?
Actually, Mesopotamia is only the eastern part of the Fertile crescent. The western part included Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. It is called the fertile crescent because it is a fertile area in the surrounding desert and mountains, and it is shaped in a crescent. It was given the name Fertile Crescent by archaeologist and historian James Henry Breasted in 1906.Its fertility is because of the Tigris, Euphrates, and Jordan Rivers and their tributaries. Unfortunately much of it lost its fertility over a thousand years ago due to salt buildup in the soil from improper irrigation methods.Mesopotamia is shaped like a crescent and the land was very fertile due to irrigation.Mesopotamia is a crescent-shaped territory and has an area surrounded by two rivers namely Tigris and Euphrates River. Soil, a porous matter, absorbs water. The soil constantly absorbs water from the bodies of water surrounding it, thus, making Mesopotamia both fertile and crescent-like, Fertile Crescent.because its near the water and it made all the soil fertile and it sort of looks like a crescentbecause it was near water and a good area to grow crops(: It was also shaped like a crescent.Ancient Mesopotamia was a fertile place in an area that was largely desert, and it was roughly in the shape of a crescent.

What makes the fertile crescent so fertile?
Since the Fertile Crescent extended from the Persian Gulf till the Nile River Valley. The rivers flooded often and the water extended to the land, as the water returned to the water land, or absorbed into the land, it left a lot of SILT. This element caused the soil to be really rich and fertile. HOPE THIS HELPS :))
