How did geography impact the Ancient Egyptians?
Geography impacted the Ancient Egyptians in many ways. One being the Red Sea, and how it forms and shapes the Sinai Peninsula, and this peninsula was important to the Ancient Egyptians because of its strategic position linking east with west, and north with south. Along with the Red Sea, there was also much fertile soil that greatly helped Ancient Egypt. This fertile soil was mostly around bodies of water, like the Nile River, The Nile Delta, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
How did the geography of Ancient Egypt help agriculture develop?
The geography of Egypt helped agriculture develop through fertile soil. Fertile soil made it very easy to farm and grow crops. Therefore, fertile soil (agriculture) made it so Ancient Egyptian families would thrive and this helped the population grow and expand. Without Egypt's geography, agriculture probably wouldn't have developed.
Why was the Nile River important to the Ancient Egyptians?
The Nile River was important to the Ancient Egyptians because it provided great transportation. The Egyptians did not even need roads, there was no need to build them because they could just travel very easily using the Nile River. Along with that, the Nile made it easy to get food, like fish, clams, and other seafood. There was also a lot of fertile soil around the Nile, making it possible to grow crops.
How did the flooding of the Nile affect the ancient Egyptians?
When the floods went down, it left thick, rich mud (black silt) which was excellent soil to plant seeds in after it had been ploughed. The ancient Egyptians could grow crops only in the mud left behind when the Nile flooded. So they all had fields all along the River Nile. Also, the Nile helped agriculture develop as well. Familiar with Egyptian cotton? This is the secret behind the long thread in it's form. This cotton was from the thick black silt along the Nile. This proves that the Nile even helped Egyptians make clothing.

How were the Egyptians protected from their physical environment?
Although deserts in Ancient Egypt had very little trees, the Nile River, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and more bodies of water, including fertile soil, served many purposes for Ancient Egyptians. One being the ability to plant and grow crops for food. Plus, there were many deserts and much sand, where the sun would serve a purpose to make intruders trying to pass through deserts to invade Egypt get filled with lassitude, making it so they would either give up, or perish from lack of water.
