Question
Which one of the following cities of Iraq is located on the Tigris river?
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, is located on a vast plain bisected by the River Tigris. The Tigris splits Baghdad in half, with the eastern half being called ‘Risafa’ and the Western half known as ‘Karkh’.
The land on which the city is built is almost entirely flat and low-lying, being of alluvial origin due to the periodic large floods which have occurred on the river.
