water. For Iraq it is a different story and I am here to give a brief essay on how water is in Iraq. I will also cover where the water comes from and the struggle of having water in Iraq. There are two major rivers that flow through Iraq, the Tigris River and The Euphrates River. These rivers start in Turkey, flow through Syria before reaching Iraq. Both of these rivers conjoin at what is known as the Fertile Crescent in Iraq before flowing into the Persian Gulf. Some of the first water…

They are the top predator in every ecosystem they inhabit. Until the 20th Century there were nine tiger subspecies that probably numbered over 100,000 animals. They included the giant 660-pound, or 300 kilo, Siberian (Panthera tigris altaica) and Caspian (Panthera tigris virgata; now extinct) tigers as well as the relatively small—and now also extinct—200-pound (90 kilo) Balinese tiger. Depending on whether there are any remaining South China tigers—nobody has seen one in years—there are either…

The most significant factor that influenced the development of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia was the geography of the two regions, both regions had fertile land for agriculture which helped develop the cities, they were also located near rivers which encouraged trade for the cities allowing them to grow and prosper. The fertile land produced by the region's rivers helped develope cities through agriculture. The rivers running through the two regions also helped encourage trade allowing the…

many similarities. Egypt and Mesopotamia were similar in farming, theocracy, and the belief of animism. They had more of a contrast between their feelings toward the Gods, unity of the government and states, and the way nature affects the society.The Tigris and Euphrates where a source of help for Mesopotamia as is the Nile to Egypt, but they both have different roles in the civilizations. These two rivers help with the peoples beliefs of Gods and they also helped provide a specific way to view…

All throughout history, geographic factors have affected the development of nations and regions. An example of this would be how the rivers in the civilizations of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia have used the river to their advantage in order to thrive their civilization. In Ancient Egypt, the Nile River flooded them each annually, although it sounds like it would be a burden. It was easy to manage since the floods were predictable and easy to control. When the river flooded it renewed the…

civilization, called Sumer, was built on the basis of agriculture. Because their whole civilization was based on agriculture, they needed to live on fertile soil where their crops could grow, and this caused them to live near rivers, specifically the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Similar to Sumer, starting around 2000 BCE, the ancient Chinese river valley civilization began to develop relying on the Huang He River to give them fertile soil for farming. Considering that the geography of the land…

Ancient civilizations would settle close to water and make various innovations and establish trading bases. This is demonstrated largely in the societies of Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Greece. Mesopotamians settled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and developed into a civilization known for several inventions…

The river basins of Euphrates and Tigris became the home of a complex society. This first society of human was located in “Mesopotamia.” “Mesopotamia” is a Greek word that means, “Land between the Rivers.” The land between the rivers is a very fertile area, which is where many people grew crops. The development of cities began around 3,500 BCE. Throughout time, civilization grew with laws, crops, and people. Mesopotamia helped create writing and taxes. The name, Mesopotamia, is used for the…

To start off, the most important characteristic that all civilizations in Asia and Northeast Africa had in common was that they all originated around some form of water. Egypt thrived around the Nile River, Mesopotamia flourished off of the Tigris/Euphrates River, India, the Indus River, and China the Yellow River. In all of these areas, civilizations were able to develop because the rivers provided rich soil and irrigation for crops, as well as providing barriers from attacks and disease.…

same subspecies as the bengal tiger. The scientific name is Panthera tigris tigris. The genus Panthera includes four species of animals, the tiger, the lion, jaguar, and the leopard, all of which have the ability to roar. The white tigers’s full classification is as follows: Domain: Eukarya; Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Mammalia; Order: Carnivora; Family: Felidae; Genus: Panthera; Species: tigris; Subspecies: tigris. Unfortunately today this rare and unique tiger is no longer…
