What does the term Fertile Crescent mean?
The fertile crescent is a nickname for Mesopotamia. Fertile means wet and crescent is a little thinner than half moon. There is another nickname for it due to the fact that it is the land between the rivers. This a true statement too because there are two rivers surrounding it they are the Euphrates river and the Tigris river and the Jordan River.
What were the effects of the flooding of the Fertile Crescent?
The flooding of the Tigris and the Euphrates caused silt that washed from the mountains they flowed from, onto the land making it fertile and that is why Mesopotamia is called the fertile crescent.
