I think it's the techtonic plates.
A cataract is an area of a river where the elevation of the streambed changes too quickly or has to many boulders meaning people couldn't use part of the river as transportation.
This was a good thing because the cataracts effectively served as barriers so they could control travel. This meant that the Pharos found it impossible to control the land south of the first cataract. This ending up becoming the southern border of Ancient Egypt.
Hope this helped ☺️
Just name 3 things that aren’t living, like rocks, etc in your local area!! I hope that makes you understand! ^-^
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest living structure. It is made up of around 2900 individual reefs and 900 islands. ... Climate change is perhaps the biggest threat to the Great Barrier Reef. Warmer ocean temperatures put stress on coral and lead to coral bleaching.
