Floods Until recently, flooded annually in July Question #4 Floods Until recently, flooded annually in July Floods were predicatable Deposited silt, replenishing the soil with nutrients The silt built up at the mouth of the river, forming a delta The silt blocks the path of the water, so the river has to get wider

2) The Red Sea The Red Sea lies between Africa and Asia It is almost 1400 miles long and only 200 miles wide

3) The Mediterranean Sea The Mediterranean Sea connects 3 continents: Africa, Europe, and Asia The Mediterranean Sea connects to the Atlantic Ocean

The Nile River Delta is very fertile and great for growing crops 4) Nile Delta Question #5 & #6 Delta- A triangle-shaped deposit of rich soil at a river’s mouth Usually forms many smaller rivers because of silt deposit The Nile River Delta is very fertile and great for growing crops

5) Sinai Peninsula Small strip of land between Africa and Asia Question #7 5) Sinai Peninsula Small strip of land between Africa and Asia The Mediterranean Sea lies to the north and the Red Sea to the south

Question #8 & #9 6) Lower Egypt Although to the north, it was called Lower Egypt because of the low-lying land that formed the Nile River Delta

Question #10 & #11 7) Upper Egypt Called Upper Egypt because it is upstream of the Nile River Delta and the land is more elevated The Nile is hard to travel in Upper Egypt because of cataracts (rapids)
