Euphrates River

Explanation:

  • The Euphrates River, also known as the Turkish Frat Nehri or the Arabic Nahr Al-Furt, is a river in the Middle East.
  • It is one of the two main parts of the Tigris-Euphrates river system and is the longest river in southwest Asia, measuring 1,740 miles (2,800 kilometres). The river begins its journey in Turkey and travels southeast through Syria and Iraq.
  • The Euphrates River is formed by the confluence of the Karasu and Murat rivers in the Armenian Highland, and it flows between large Taurus Mountain ranges to the Syrian flat. It then flows across western and central Iraq before joining the Tigris River and continuing on to the Persian Gulf as the Shatt Al-Arab.
  • Its valley was intensively irrigated in ancient times, and numerous large cities lined its banks, some of which are still standing.
  • The Tigris defines a historical region known as Mesopotamia. (Tigris-Euphrates River System for further information on the Euphrates River.)
  • The Tigris and Euphrates diverge dramatically in their upper courses after rising in close proximity, reaching a maximum distance of about 250 miles (400 km) near the Turkish-Syrian border.
  • Their middle courses progressively merge, forming Al-Jazrah (Arabic: "The Island"), a triangle of mostly barren limestone desert in eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, and extreme northeastern Syria. The rivers south of Baghdad have very different properties.
  • The Tigris carries a greater volume than the Euphrates, especially after its confluence with the silt-laden Diyl River; cuts into the alluvium; forms convoluted meanders; and, even in modern times, has been prone to enormous floods and accompanying natural levee building.
