and delta of Egypt depended on the annual Nile

(1) natural fertilizers are less effective than
artificial fertilizers
(2) technological advances sometimes create
unforeseen problems
(3) yearly flooding is harmful to Egyptian
agriculture
(4) farmers in the Nile Valley operate at a
subsistence level

Sagot :
