question 3
why are most cities in egypt
located in a relatively small portion
of egypt?

Explanation:

Most of Egypt is desert (Sahara and Western Desert), lacking water for human settlement. The Nile River valley and delta (a small portion) provide water for drinking, agriculture (via irrigation), and transportation, making it suitable for cities to develop. The Nile’s annual flooding also enriched the soil, supporting farming which is vital for sustaining populations.

Answer:

Most cities in Egypt are located in a relatively small portion (the Nile River valley and delta) because most of Egypt is desert (Sahara, Western Desert) with scarce water. The Nile provides water for drinking, irrigation (supporting agriculture), and transportation, and its flooding enriched soil for farming, enabling human settlement and city development.
