"People in Mesopotamia were able to farm along two rivers and use fertile soil; people in Mesoamerica had to rely more on rainwater for agriculture" is the one that best contrasts the role that geography played in the development of civilizations in Mesopotamia and in Mesoamerica. The correct option is option "A". 

The correct answer is - A. People in Mesopotamia were able to farm along two rivers and use fertile soil; People in Mesoamerica had to rely more on rainwater for agriculture.

Mesopotamia was founded along two big rivers, the Tigris River and the Euphrates River. Both of these rivers came down from the highlands north of Mesopotamia. These two rivers are in close proximity so when they were flooding they were creating a large space of very fertile soil by their annual depositions. This allowed the people from Mesopotamia to have sustainable agriculture and also gave them enough space and time so that they can develop as civilization.

The people from Mesoamerica didn't had the same luck, instead they were heavily reliant on the climate and how much and in which part of the year there will be rain. This caused them major problems because very often it happened that there's long droughts and their crops destroyed, which meant starvation. Because of this lots of cities and states had fallen and disappeared from the face of the Earth.

The planet known for having large amounts of iron oxide in its soil and polar ice caps is __________. The planet known for being covered in cliffs and craters and having a weak magnetic field is __________.
Evidence suggests that __________ originate in the Oort Cloud located beyond the orbit of the planets.
a. comets
c. meteoroids
b. asteroids
d. meteorites

Answers

The planet known for having large amounts of iron oxide in its soil and polar ice caps is Mars. It is known to be the second smallest planet in the solar system. It is also known as the Red Planet due to the reddish appearance of the soil which is caused by the high amounts of iron.

The planet known for being covered in cliffs and craters and having a weak magnetic field is Mercury. It is the closest to the sun and the smallest planet in the solar system.

Comets are hypothesized to come from the Oort Cloud which is located beyond the orbit of the planets.

Explanation:

    Most important for understanding atmospheric pressure is knowledge of the variations it is subjected to under the influence of various factors.

    When we have an atmospheric pressure higher than 1013 Mb or hPa (high pressure or anticyclone) it is why the air is heavier, coming down colder and drier and gives us a good clue to say we can have a good time and / or cold.

    The centers of high atmospheric pressure generate divergent air movement out of the center and also subsident (top to bottom) causing the air to become drier. High pressure plays the opposite role of low pressure: it dries the air, decreases cloudiness and conditions for rain.

you would need to pack, b) sunscreen.
