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?

Question

a. the mesopotamians also used basin irrigation.
b. the mesopotamians used a system of dams.
c. the mesopotamians used a series of crisscrossing channels.
d. the mesopotamians funneled monsoon rains to their crops.

Answer 1

The correct comparison is:

c. the Mesopotamians used a series of crisscrossing channels.

Unlike the Egyptians, who primarily used basin irrigation techniques to manage the Nile's floodwaters, Mesopotamians developed an intricate network of canals and channels to control the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for their agricultural needs.
