Answer:
The area called the Fertile Crescent was home to early civilization. All of the following contributed to the rich and fertile soil in the region except the Zagros and Taurus mountains, which protected the area from undesirable and harsh weather.
Explanation:
The Fertile Crescent is a place where thousands of years ago there were suitable conditions for the birth of civilization. It was an area very suitable for agriculture. Its territory extends from the African Nile in the west, through Cyprus, through the Mesopotamian lowlands and further along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers to the southeast to the Persian Gulf, to the foot of the Iranian highlands.
The area was suitable for agriculture as it was characterized by limited but regular rainfall. The Fertile Crescent is, or was, in reality not a particularly fertile region. However, it was a good place for the emergence of agriculture because there are many plant species suitable for domestication. Precisely because there was a relatively dry climate, there were very many types of grass present from which different types of grain could be domesticated.
Gandhi took the religious principle of ahimsa which means doing no harm, common to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism and turned it into a non-violent tool for mass action. He used it to fight not only colonial rule but social evils such as racial discrimination and untouchability as well.
