Answer 2

The correct answer is C) Mesopotamian agriculture depended on seasonal rains, while Mesoamerican agriculture depended on river valleys.

The domestication of plants in Mesopotamia differs from domestication in Mesoamerica in that Mesopotamian agriculture depended on seasonal rains, while Mesoamerican agriculture depended on river valleys.

The weather was a key factor in the domestication of plants in Summer-Mesopotamia. This region was in what we now know as the Middle East and flourished between two important rivers: the Tigris and Euphrates. It is the region where now is Iran, Irak, and Syria. Mesoamerica is the great area in what now is Central and South America, where important cultures flourished such as the Olmecs, the Toltecs, the Mexicas, the Aztecs, and the Mayas. Agriculture was very important for the survival of both civilizations, although Mesopotamian agriculture depended on seasonal rains, while Mesoamerican agriculture depended on river valleys.
