There are really three important geographic features of Mesopotamia. It is made up of an area of land known as "the fertile crescent". This land lies between and around two important rivers that give this rich area its life-- the Tigris and Euphrates.
The central region of Iraq is defined by Mesopotamia which has arid deserts and two powerful rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, that allow for irrigated farmland along its banks. Mesopotamia is not especially mountainous or flat and is rather easy to access. Iraq has regions outside of Mesopotamia like the Zagros Mountains in the east, the Kurdish Highlands in the north, and the Anbar Deserts in the west.
