One of Mesopotamia's seas  was called the Mediterranean sea. The Mediterranean sea was a big help in Mesopotamia because it gave purified  water. One of the rivers that Mesopotamia had was the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The  Tigris and Euphrates Rivers helped the Mesopotamian farmers enrich their soil but it could also hurt farmers when it flooded their fields.  One of Mesopotamia's gulfs was the Persian Gulf. The Persian Gulf hurt the Mesopotamian people  because it had a very hot water temperature  and it created dust storms. The Mesopotamian mountains help Mesopotamia when it starts to snow a lot and then melts witch the snow that melts goes into the Mesopotamian  rivers witch helps Mesopotamia out.Finally the rich soil is very important to the people in Mesopotamia so they are able to plaint lots of crops and make sure those crops are healthy crops and are ready to eat. That is all of Mesopotamia's geography. ]]> 2017-10-10 17:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sskreamer/vqz79hxqep9p/wish/195729976 Organized goverment sskreamer https://padlet.com/sskreamer/vqz79hxqep9p/wish/195848614 The government of Mesopotamia was ruled by many kings.
