Hello there!

Back in the days of the early Egyptians, they did not know about "north" or "south." Due to this, they did not think to orient their kingdom in the way we do now. They took the Nile River, which flows from south to north as their reference. Therefore, the southern part was known as "Upper Egypt" while the northern region was called "Lower Egypt."

I hope this helps!

The rate of plate movement is only a few ________ per year so climate changes triggered by shifting plates happen on a scale of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

centimeters

Explanation:

The lithospheric plates move relative to the others at a very slow but continuous speed that is, on average, about five centimeters per year. This movement is ultimately driven by the unequal distribution of heat inside the Earth. The hot material found in the depths of the mantle moves slowly upwards and serves as a part of our planet's internal convection system. Simultaneously, colder and denser sheets of the oceanic lithosphere descend to the mantle, moving the rigid outer layer of the Earth into motion. Finally, the titanic friction between Earth's lithospheric plates generates earthquakes, creates volcanoes and deforms large masses of rock in the mountains.  But it causes climate changes to be experienced every million years.

How Birmingham is developed
Irina-Kira [14]

This has happened by a combination of immigration, civic pride, and innovation. In total, Birmingham has seen 1400 years of growth.
