Question

Explain why people living in the northern areas of the Fertile Crescent moved into other areas? What finally allowed people to settle in southern Mesopotamia?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer above is not really all that accurate because I used it for edge. Unless you want something less than 100 I suggest you use the sample answer.

People living in the northern areas of the Fertile Crescent were forced to search for new lands because the hunters and gatherers had turned to agriculture. The increased population of farmers in the area forced many to seek out other areas because of the limited amount of fertile land. The development of irrigation ditches and canals allowed many of these people to settle in southern Mesopotamia. Since all farmers needed access to a water source, the ability to transfer water meant that it was no longer necessary to settle next to a river.

Explanation: Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The Fertile Crescent is an area of the Near East that was supplied with enough fresh water which favored the development of agriculture. It was named that way because of it´s fertility and the shape that looks like a crescent, with the Persian gulf at one side and the Mediterrean sea at the other. Due to it´s characteristics the first civilizations arose in the area

People living in the northen areas of the Fertile Crescent moved to other areas due to flooding caused by excessive snow in the mountains, in spring the high temperatures also caused the increase in the course of the rivers, leadind more floods

People settled in Mesopotamia due to the fertility of the area and the possibility of agriculture which favored the development of the people established in the new area
