Egypt

The country that I am researching is Egypt and the capital of Egypt is Cairo. The highest elevation in Egypt is 2001 to 5000 feet and the lowest part is below sea level. The climate in Egypt is arid. The vegetation in Egypt is mostly desert scrub and desert, but there is also a little bit of temperate grassland and broadleaf evergreen forest. most of the population density is mostly under 2 people per square mile until you get to the Nile River. Then the density is over 250 people per square mile. Lastly the use their land for nomadic herding and a little bit of commercial farming. The climate in Egypt is Arid. Which means that it is hot and dry al year long with very little rain. Egypt is just one part of the Sahara Desert which means that there aren't many resouces. The only reason that people can survive in Egypt is because of the Nile River. The Nile runs through many countries and it runs through all of Egypt. It is the longest river in the entire world and it's not like other rivers either it runs upstream instead of downstream. There are many vegetation zones in Egypt. Some include temperate grassland which means it has short and tall grasses that have adapted to its climate. Desert which means it's a arid region with few plants. Also there is desert scrub which means it has small trees, bushes, and other plants adapted to a dry climate. Lastly around the Nile River they have brodleaf evergreen forests which means there are tall trees with large leaves that remain green all year long. Egypt's population is very scattered. At some parts of Egypt they have only 2 people and under per square mile. Other places there are anywhere from 2-25 people per square mile. The lower part of Egypt there are many people 125-250 people per square mile by the Nile River. Lastly by the Capital of Egypt, Cairo there are over 250 people per square mile on the Nile River. In Egypt people use their land for many different reasons. They mostly use it for nomadic farming which means they move often to find food and water for their animals. Also they use it for commercial farming which means that they raise livestock to sell them. Lastly they use their land for trade and manufacturing which means they turn resources into goods to sell. In Egypt their resources are Natural Gas, Petroleum(oil), Iron, and Hydroelectric power.
