Detailed explanation-1: -As the water spread over the floodplain, the soil it carried settled on the land. The fine soil deposited by rivers is called silt. Silt is fertile and good for growing crops. Because of this, Mesopotamia is also known as “The Fertile Crescenttt.
Detailed explanation-2: -The regular flooding along the Tigris and the Euphrates made the land around them especially fertile and ideal for growing crops for food. That made it a prime spot for the Neolithic Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, that began to take place almost 12, 000 years ago.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, regularly flooded the region, and the Nile River also runs through part of it. Irrigation and agriculture developed here because of the fertile soil found near these rivers.
