The River Nile

Mainly because they needed the river for transport and water to sustain them.

The Nile overflows its banks every year (or it used to before the construction of the Aswan Dam) depositing both water and silt on its banks, irrigating and fertilizing the nearby land. That was its gift. Now its gift is hydroelectric power.

The Nile River Delta.

The Nile River is the basis of life in Africa. The Nile River is one of Egypt's most life-giving sources.

No, the Rhine does not flow through Cairo.

The Ob River in western Siberia (Russia) has its mouth at the Gulf of Ob, near the northern end of the Ural Mountains. The gulf is the world's longest estuary, and flows to the Kara Sea, which is an arm of the Arctic Ocean.

The ancient Egyptian calendar, made up of twelve months of 30 days each, was divided into three seasons, based upon the cycles of the Nile. The three seasons were - Akhet, Inundation or flood. Peret, the growing season. Shemu, the drought or harvest season.

People belive that people started to settle along the Nile around 5,000-6,000 BC. But there is no way to make sure but that is when experts belive they settled.

Many cities were located along the river Nile because in Egypt there was lots of desert and perople needed water to grow crops and to drink. Also the river flooded once each year spreading fertile silt over the farm lands.

It flows over six groups of cataracts, which are shallow lengths or white water rapids. The surface water is broken by small boulders and stones. Also, from the first to the sixth cataract, the river turns to flow southward before returning to flow north again.

The Nile was extremely important. Without the Nile flooding every spring farmer's could not grow their crops! If there was too much water the crops would be destroyed. If there was not enough there would be a famine.

The Egytians grew around the nile

I think it is:

flooding

good soil

good crops

transportation

I'm not entirely sure but I think it is.

Hope this helps. :)

The most famous bird in the Nile Delta would have to be the ibis, as it was a major pillar stone of Egyptian culture, and a god was named after it. The ibis is whitish-cream colored with bright red feet and a head.

These two niles confluence in Sudan about 1,247 feet elevation. hope it helped =D

1) savanna

2) delta

3) cataracts

4) annual floods

Hope this helpeed! (:

The Nile river flows from south to north and no it is not the only river that goes northward. Other rivers that flow northward include the Red River (North Dakota), the Lena River (Russia), and the Shennandoah River (Virginia).

Most of the major Russian rivers flow North, because the Siberian Plain tilts very gently down to the North, and is fringed by mountains all along its Southern side.

I think its two miles yes it is.

Not really as it is not comparing like with like - The Nile is a river the USA is not. However the links below will give you ample geographical details to cover this.

Dead Sea i believe

Minnesota

The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in Itasca State Park, Clearwater County, MN.

The River Nile flows through Cairo, Egypt.

IN the nile river, or at least they used to, now i think their poulations are dwindling

In reality everything is 'good' about the Nile, even the floods were of immense benefit.

Improved:

- Being the source of most of the fertile soil.

- Water source.

ThNile floods periodically, and can cause great damage to buildings and crops.

- The great fertility of the Nile valley made it a valuable prize to other conquerors; and thus it invited attack.
