WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Nile River flows from south to north through eastern Africa. It begins in the rivers that flow into Lake Victoria (located in modern-day Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya), and empties into the Mediterranean Sea more than 6, 600 kilometers (4, 100 miles) to the north, making it one of the longest river in the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why does the Nile flow north from Lake Victoria into the Mediterranean? Rivers always flow downhill. It’s a common misconception that something about the earth forces most rivers to flow south. Plenty of rivers flow north, including the Nile, which gathers from high-elevation lakes in the African Rift Valley.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Nile Delta (Arabic: , Delta an-Nīl or simply , ad-Delta) is the delta formed in Lower Egypt where the Nile River spreads out and drains into the Mediterranean Sea.

Detailed explanation-4: -The term delta comes from the upper-case Greek letter delta (), which is shaped like a triangle. Deltas with this triangular or fan shape are called arcuate (arc-like) deltas. The Nile River forms an arcuate delta as it empties into the Mediterranean Sea.
