The Nile river also supported in their early political unification between upper and lower Egypt. I believe that without the Nile River the early Egyptians would not have existed. The geographical surroundings of the Nile river has a big impact on the development of the Egyptian civilization. First of all the Nile river is 6695 kilometers (4184 miles) long, with this length, the Nile river is the longest river on Earth starting from Uganda to Ethiopia, flowing through a total of nine countries to the Mediterranean Sea. Located in Sahara desert in Northern Africa, the river flows north while the wind blows south making the Nile the main transportation way.
It has many tributaries but there are two main ones: the White Nile fed by lake Victoria and the Blue Nile coming from Ethiopian mountains. These two main branches join near Khartoum, the capital of Sudan and they continue together as Nile proper until meeting the Mediterranean Sea and forming the Nile delta in northern Egypt. Around 5000 BC, one of the first great civilizations developed in the northern Nile river valley dependent on agriculture in a land called Egypt. Water; Fertile soil; and river's flow north while prevailing wind blows south made the Nile the best transportation way, were examples of the Nile gifts. Another gift is that every year the flood came bringing disaster and famine due to destroying the crops and their villages.
After 18 months and 4,000 miles they headed back. Both explorers took separately routes. They finally returned September 1806 they had collected people, plants, animals, and the geography to inspire the nation to move westward. -Pikes expedition, This paragraph explains how even though Jefferson sent out Lewis and Clark for an exploration, Jefferson sent out more explorers and one of them was named Zebulon Pike led by 2 expeditions between 1805 and 1807, when traveling through what is now the state of Colorado he found a snow caped mountain and he called it Grand Peak. Today this mountain is known as Pikes Peak.
Scotlandville community is bounded to the west by the Illinois Central Railroad (now Canadian National) and the Kansas City Southern Railroad on the east, Central Road to the north and Harding Boulevard to the south. The larger Scotlandville community got its name from Scott Plantation and Scott’s Bluffs. It was these bluffs rising out of the Mississippi River that attracted the first Spanish settlers to what is now Baton Rouge. Southern University, which sits on these bluffs, was established in 1880 in New Orleans and moved to Baton Rouge in 1914. Although the town of Scotlandville was well established long before Southern University moved to the bluffs, you cannot describe one without including the other.

Since the kingdoms and societies using this vehicle in war were found to be superior based on the size of their chariots, it became a master weapon and spread all over the world within a short time. Development and Expansion of the United States The Gold rush of 1849 and presence of a navigable river system were the most significant physical geographical factors that contributed to the development and expansion of the United States. In the 1800s, several natural resources were discovered in the country, for instance, the
HAITI: THE JEWEL OF THE ANTILLES Haiti was once called The Jewel of the Antilles because it was the richest colony in the entire world and the busiest trade center in the New World. Economist estimate that in the 1750s Haiti produced about 40% of all the sugar and 60% of all the coffee consumed in all Europe by 1780. The colony employed a thousand ships and 15.000 French sailors. In France the products were refined, packaged and sold all over Europe. There were incredible amount of fortunes that was made from this tiny colony on the island of Hispaniola.
On the Restoration Love Environmental Tour, my particular spot examined the Sanford Natural area as well as the Baker Woodlot. The woodlots are located within the 5,200 acres of Michigan State University. Natural forest areas have been extremely important to the natural environment throughout the state of Michigan through both the upper and lower peninsulas. Throughout the history of the state, forest areas have provided extreme benefits to the economic status of the state, however due to extreme deforestation from selfish acts of mankind, approximately only half of the original 36.4 million acres remain. Original forest development was founded through primary succession during early post glacial vegetation, which created increased nutrients
In this paper I will discuss of America. the Yellow River floods, the monsoon rains, and the effect they have on both the Chinese economy and the economy of The United States First, physical features of a nation can have a tremendous effect on that country’s history and culture. One example is the Yellow River floods. The Yellow (Huang He) River is the most important single land form in China. Over one hundred million people live along its banks, trying to make a living off the extremely fertile soil it carries in its current.
For about 5,000 years, back to the Sumerian ancestors there has been a huge wildlife sanctuary and refuge for the human Marsh Arab culture (Richardson p.1). The “cradle of western civilization” nearly covered 15,000 km. All together, there are three main marshlands. The main marshland is located north in Al-Hawizeh along the Iran-Iraq border. The other two are found west and south in the Central and Al-Hammar.
