I need help defining some Nile River terms…?
I left my social studies book in my locker today….. I’m trying to find the answers to these terms on the internet, but they don’t help much. We are supposesed to define the following terms, telling how they affect the Nile River if possible:
1. Cataracts
2. Wadis
3. Reservoir
4. Aswan High Dam
5. Floodplains
6. Delta
7. Source
8. Mouth
Thanks!!
Please I need answers soon… I have to leave in a few minutes…
1. Cataracts – Shallow rocky areas in the river that are not navigable.
2. Wadis – Are areas in the desert that have a fresh water spring.
3. Reservoir – A man made lake.
4. Aswan High Dam – A dam across the Nile river near the city of Aswan. It was built by the Russians.
5. Floodplains – areas that will flood during high water periods.
6. Delta – a low wetland area, usually found near the mouth of the river.
7. Source – where the river begins. The Nile begins in Lake Victoria.
8. Mouth – where the river ends. In the case of the Nile, it empties into the Mediterranean
