A) Egyptians altered their environment by developing basin irrigation to deliver water to their
crops. How does this compare with the way Mesopotamians altered their environment?
(1 point)
The Mesopotamians funneled monsoon rains to their crops.
The Mesopotamians used a system of dams.
The Mesopotamians used a series of crisscrossing channels.
The Mesopotamians also used basin irrigation.

Answer 9

The correct comparison is: The Mesopotamians used a series of crisscrossing channels.
