ideal because they were ideal because they were by rivers so you would always have drinking water. The valleys also had some of the best farmland. The farmland was so fertile because‚ the snow on the mountains would melt and flood the rivers‚ so the silt would make the soil fertile. They were also ideal because you could use the rivers for trading. How were the Indus and Ganges river valleys affected by the land nearby? They were affected by the mountains because‚ the melted ice carried down from

What is a Wetland ? Wetlands are habitats that fall somewhere on the environmental spectrum between land and water. Since wetlands lie at the interface of terrestrial and aquatic habitats‚ they possess a unique mixture of species‚ conditions‚ and interactions. As a result‚ wetlands are among our planet’s most diverse and varied habitats. Wetlands are defined by the soils‚ hydrology‚ and species that occur within them. Wetland soils‚ also known as hydric soils‚ are shaped by water. These soils

River valleys were a necessity in Early civilizations. The Nile‚ a river that runs through Egypt played an important role in the creation of the civilization. The river was used for irrigation of their crops. The river made a good soil with a lot of silt. Egypt was called the breadbasket because it produced an incredible amount of grain and crops. The people of Egypt also new exact His code consisted of 282 sections dealing with most aspects of

Salt Marshes‚Mangroves‚and Coral Reefs Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy

possible without the Nile River in ancient Egypt. The Nile River greatly affected ancient Egypt’s economy. One way that the Nile River affected ancient Egypt’s economy‚ was when the Nile River floods‚ the water from the Nile River gives a rich black silt to the land. After the water from the flood goes away‚ the Egyptians could plant crops on that land. This affects the Egyptian economy by providing them with food‚ which allows the Egyptians to sell after they harvest it. Another way the Nile River

The creek was fairly still with a few places further south rushing at a medium speed and it ran from North to South. There was lots of silt‚ gravel‚ and mud at the bottom of the creek and the depth of the creek ranged from around 1 inch to a foot. There was a drainage pipe draining into the creek and there were 2-3 plastic bags in the creek. Based on these observations‚ the prediction

They make our land alluvial and fertile by scattering silt over them. These supply water to the lands during dry season through irrigation.
