The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Mesopotamian geography affected the people's view of the gods basically in that the flood of the rivers caused fertile land in Sumer but also created many disasters.
Sumer-Mesopotamia was established between two important rivers in the region of the Middle East: the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Flooding allowed fertile land and good crops for Sumerians but many times the floodings provoked disasters, destroying property and killing people. Sumerians thought that the gods controlled the Rivers and there were times they were benevolent and allow good crops but other times they reflected their anger with diasters.
