Describe the climate zone/biome of the Nile River area.
One country that the Nile goes through, Egypt, is all desert, but the Nile River goes through more countries than just Egypt. It also goes through Sudan and Ethiopia. Ethiopia has some tropical savanna, mixed forest, tropical seasonal as well as desert. Sudan is mostly tropical savanna and desert, as well as a tiny patch of Tropical seasonal and scrub.
List the Vegetation and Natural Resources Available
In Ancient Egypt, many of the natural resources came from the Nile River. One of those resources was fish. The Egyptians also mined for white limestone, quartzite, sandstone, alabaster and granite. The Egyptians also had copper as well as flint. Flax as well as papyrus were important crops for Egypt.
Explain how water, mud, plants, and animals were all "gifts of the Nile" to the Egyptians.
The Nile River's water let people travel on it for trade. It was also water that people could use for everyday tasks like bathing, cooking food and swimming. In addition, the water was used for irrigating crops. The floods brought fertile mud called silt, which made farming possible where it would normally have been impossible.
