How is the Tiber and the Nile the same?
The nile is different from the Tigris and Euphrates river in some ways, such as their sizes because the nile is mighty and large also very long while the Tigris river and the Euphrates are shorter and smaller that surround Mesopotamia. They are also different because you can predict when the nile river will flood and the other two rivers are very unpredictable. I hope this helped By the way I am only eleven years old😊😍😃😜😝😇😋

What is better the north or the south?
Well you know northeners will say north and southeners will say south but I'll try to be as unbiased as i can (I'm from the north so i know it better but I'm not quite sure about the south. In the north there are the centers of our country: the white house, congress, the senate, the pentagon, etc. Also we have many of the great colleges of the country because the north (particulary the northeast) is college orientated. Also Massachussets (my state!) is pretty much our country's birthplace. Here is where Boston was blockaded by the british which made the colonies ban together to help out Massachusetts. The Tea Party, the first concrete act against the british happened in Boston harbor and lets not forget the first battles of the Revolutionary War were in, geuss where?, Massachusetts! Also the first 2 sessions of congress were in philadelphia. Not to mention the Liberty Bell and Plymouth Rock. And where do you think our country's fathers came from! We were fighting for our country's independence before the south was around so i'd go out on a limb and say the north is better. But come on the south is important too. After all they have Disneyworld!

Why did Egyptian civilization depend on the nile river?
The Nile provides Egypt with the most important thing for a civilization -- fertile land. The logic behind it is purely agricultural.
Primitive humans did not know how to farm. Thus, they roamed the land as "hunter/gatherers" - searching for animals to hunt down or whatever wild growing plants they could eat.
A major threshold in human history came when humans began to learn agriculture. This allowed them to stay put in one area and focus more time on issues other than finding food. For example, because they were staying in one location - the field of architecture emerged. Many other specializations got their origins only after agriculture.
In order to have reliable agriculture, you must first have good soil and water supply. In Northern Africa the only place this was the case was along the banks of the Nile. The Nile floods annually and the seasonal patterns formed the basis of many beliefs and customs.
Many of the worlds earliest civilizations emerged along river banks for this same reason. The Indus Valley, the Tigris and Euphrates are other commonly cited examples.
