The Nile is formed by the confluence of three rivers: kagera river, White Nile and Blue Nile. The valley delta in the lower Nile is one of the earliest cradles of human civilization, where ancient Egypt was born. So far, 96% of the population of Egypt and the United States and most of the agricultural production are concentrated here. Therefore, the Nile is regarded as the lifeline of Egypt.
The Nile originates from the south of the equator, meanders on the plateau in eastern Africa, and flows from south to north. The Nile runs through northeast Africa, flows through Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt and other countries, and finally flows into the Mediterranean Sea. With a total length of 6,740 kilometers, it is the longest river in Africa and the second longest river in the world, with a drainage area of 2.8 million square kilometers, equivalent to 1/3 of the African continent.
The Nile has two sources, one is called the White Nile, which originates from the tropical mountain range of 262 1 m in central Africa. The White Nile flows through large lakes such as Lake Victoria and Lake Kioga, through the jungles of Uganda and northward through Sudan. Another source of the Nile is the Ethiopian plateau at an altitude of 2000 meters. The Blue Nile is 680 kilometers long. It crossed Lake Tana, and then made a sharp turn, forming a stream running for thousands of miles. This is the second largest waterfall in Africa-Tissett Falls. The roaring Blue Nile rushes into the Sudan Plain and joins the calm White Nile, which is called the Nile. Is this river naturally formed?
2. Where is the source of the Nile?
Thank you for inviting me. Located in the northeast of Africa, the Nile is the longest river in the world. It originates from the south of the equator, flows from south to north, and finally flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The main stream of the river is 6670 meters long, which is about 270 kilometers longer than the Amazon River, the second longest river in the world. The Nile valley covers an area of about 3.25 million square kilometers. Although the Nile has the longest flow, the main climate types in the basin are savanna climate and tropical desert climate, so the river runoff is not very large, even less than Congo River, Zambezi River and Niger River in Africa.
However, although the annual runoff of the Nile is very small, it is extremely important for the desert areas in the lower reaches of the Nile, especially in Egypt, which is located at the lowest reaches of the Nile and at the mouth of the river. The Nile is the most important source of fresh water resources, and it is called the mother river of Egypt. There are nearly 65,438 billion people living in Egypt along the Nile River and in the delta region. The Nile is also an international river, which flows through many countries. So how many countries does the Nile flow through? This problem should be viewed from two perspectives: the countries where the main stream of the Nile flows and the countries covered by the main tributaries (basins) of the Nile?
First, the upper Nile is divided into three parts: White Nile, Blue Nile and atbara river. Among them, the White Nile has the longest flow and is the main source of the Nile. The upper reaches of the Nile River are kagera river, which originates from Burundi in the East African Plateau and flows downstream into Lake Victoria. The main stream of the Nile River starts from the source of the Nile River and flows from upstream to downstream through seven countries, including Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt, among which Sudan has the longest length. If we consider the whole Nile Valley and its tributaries, the countries where the Nile flows include Ethiopia, Kenya, Congo (DRC) and Eritrea.
Blue Nile, another important tributary of the Nile, originated in the northwest of Ethiopia, with a total length of about 1600 km. Every summer in the northern hemisphere, the wind belt of the pressure belt moves northward, and the Ethiopian plateau region welcomes the rainy season of the year, with heavy rains. The water levels of the Blue Nile and Atbala River have risen sharply, and the Nile has entered the flood season. The runoff provided by these two rivers accounts for about 80% of the annual runoff of the Nile. In winter in the northern hemisphere, the wind belt of the pressure belt moves south, the Ethiopian plateau enters the dry season, the precipitation decreases, and the water volume of the Blue Nile and Atbala rivers decreases greatly. At this time, the water of the Nile mainly comes from the White Nile. The Nile is the longest river in the world, so is it the river that flows through this country?
The Nile has two sources. The tropical mountain range originating in central Africa with an altitude of 262 1 m is called the White Nile. The White Nile flows through large lakes such as Lake Victoria and Lake Kioga, through the jungles of Uganda and northward through Sudan. Another source of the Nile is the Blue Nile in Ethiopia, which is 2000 meters above sea level. The blue Nile, which is 680 kilometers long, passes through Lake Tana, and then drops rapidly, forming a torrent that runs thousands of miles, becoming the second most famous waterfall in Africa-Tissett Waterfall.
3. Where did the Nile originate?
The Nile originates from the Burundi Plateau in northeast Africa.
There are two sources of the Nile. One originates from a tropical mountain range of 262 1 m in central Africa and is called the White Nile. Another source is in the Ethiopian plateau at an altitude of 2000 meters, called the Blue Nile. The Blue Nile flows into the Sudan Plain and joins the calm White Nile, which is called the Nile.
4. the origin of the Nile
The Nile is the longest river in the world, with a length of 6650 kilometers from south to north. It flows through 10 countries: Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt, and finally flows into the Atlantic Ocean. In contrast, the 6280 km Yangtze River and 5464 km Yellow River are all under the Nile. Yangtoulai
The Nile has two sources, 1 Victoria Lake (or kagera river) is the source according to the principle that the source is the only distance, and Tana Lake (or Little Nile) is the source according to the principle of maximum water quantity. Laiyang headline
First, the name of Lake Victoria (or kagera river).
The length between Lake Victoria of the Nile and the Mediterranean Sea is 6650 kilometers, which is the longest river in the world. If kagera river and Lake Victoria are included, the longest river can reach about 7,000 kilometers. Title example
With an area of 68,800 square kilometers, Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the third largest lake in the world, which is 15 times that of Qinghai Lake. The largest lake in the world is the Caspian Sea, a saltwater lake at the junction of Europe and Asia, and the second largest lake is Lake Superior, a freshwater lake in North America. Laiyang headline
Kagera river, which is about 400 kilometers long, is the biggest water source of Lake Victoria. The longest tributary of kagera river is Luwuwu River, and the longest tributary of Luwuwu River is Luweilong Shahe River. Therefore, the Nile River in front of Lake Victoria, starting from Burundi, is the Ruweilong River-Ruwuwu River-kagera river, covering Rwanda, Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania. Laiyang headline
The Nile flows from the northern part of Lake Victoria to Lake Albert, which is called Victoria Nile. There is a lake Keoha in the middle of this river, and the water system is a bit complicated. Lake Albert, located in the southwest-northeast direction, is the border lake between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Victoria Nile flows northwest into the northern part of Albert Lake and flows north, which is called Albert Nile. The Nile flows northward into South Sudan and is called the White Nile. The White Nile meets the Blue Nile in Kashmu, Sudan, and is called the Nile. Title example
In this branch of Lake Victoria, the Nile is: Ruweilong River-Ruwuwu River-kagera river-Lake Victoria-Victoria Nile-Albert Nile-White Nile-Nile. Laiyang headline
Two. The headlines of Lake Tana (or Little Nile)
The average flow of the Nile is 2830 cubic meters per second, of which the average flow of the Blue Nile is 1548 cubic meters per second, which is more than half of that of the Nile, and it can even reach 80% in rainy season. Title example
5. The origin and flow direction of the Nile
Terrain influence. The East African Plateau in the south is her birthplace, and the estuary in the north is a low-lying desert with water flowing downwards.
The Nile originates from the Burundi Plateau in the northeast of Africa (explorers believe that the source of the Nile should be the Neunwei rainforest in Rwanda, and the dispute about its origin began in the 1950s of 19). It flows through Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Egypt and other countries, and finally flows into the Mediterranean. The Nile is 6650 kilometers long and is the longest river in the world.
6. Where is the birthplace of the Nile?
The Ganges Plain in India is much larger than the Indus Plain, but the ancient Indian civilization first appeared in the Indus Valley. The ancient civilization in China is usually called Halaba culture, and the earliest sites are mainly concentrated in the Indus Valley. Halaba culture can be traced back to 2300 BC to 1750 BC.
About 5,000 years ago, China's ancient civilization mainly originated in the Yellow River basin, not the larger Yangtze River basin. Chinese ancestors were divided into many tribes, large and small, which were active in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Yandi and Huangdi are * * *, and China has left many civilized sites in the Yellow River Basin.
In 3500 BC, the ancient Babylonian civilization originated in the two river basins. The area where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers flow is called Mesopotamia Plain, also known as fertile crescent moon. In ancient times, Sumerians, Akkadians, Hebrews and Phoenicians lived here successively.
The ancient Egyptian civilization was formed in 3 150 BC, and the land of ancient Egypt was closely distributed in the narrow strip around the Nile. The ancient Egyptians built huge pyramids, temples and obelisks here and established the most advanced medical system in the world at that time.
In 2000 BC, Aegean civilization originated in Crete. Later, the center of civilization moved to the Greek peninsula, and Mycenae civilization appeared.

9. the birthplace of the Nile
In order to accurately determine the source of the Amazon River, in the 1990s, the National Geographic Society of the United States organized relevant researchers to conduct an in-depth investigation into the areas that might become the source, and finally determined that the source of the Amazon River was on Naivadomimi Mountain. This snow-capped mountain is 5 189 meters above sea level and covered with ice and snow. Snow water melted by ice crystals flows down the cracks in rocks, forming streams and finally flowing into the mainstream of the Amazon River.
The Nile originates from the Burundi Plateau in northeast Africa. The Nile is a river that flows through eastern and northern Africa and flows into the Mediterranean Sea from south to north. It ranks alongside Congo River in Central Africa and Niger River in West Africa as the three major water systems in Africa. The Nile is 6670 kilometers long and is the longest river in the world. In 2007, although some scholars in Brazil claimed that the length of the Amazon River was longer, it was not universally recognized by the global geography community. The Nile has two main tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The Blue Nile, which originated in the Ethiopian Plateau, is the source of water and nutrition in most areas of the lower Nile, but the longest of the two tributaries is the White Nile.
10. Where is the birthplace of the Nile?
Hydrological explanation is that after the Nile passes through the fourth waterfall, the water flow slows down and the sediment brought by the upper reaches forms an alluvial plain. The rivers are getting longer and longer, and the plains gradually extend to the southeast of the Mediterranean.
Then the climate is in the subtropical high pressure area, with few mountains and many eroded landforms, which leads to the accumulation of wind and forms the desert plain around the Nile Valley.
Finally, because of marine problems, the activities in the Mediterranean are not strong, with few storms and gentle tidal fluctuations, which aggravate the siltation of rivers and seas and the expansion of coastline.
