Question

Which statement is the BEST example of human-environmental interaction in North Africa?

A) Arab conquests spread Islam into North Africa.
B) The Nile flows from south to north and empties into the Mediterranean Sea.
C) The construction of the Aswan Dam to provide hydroelectric power and irrigation.
D) The Sahara desert is considered a natural barrier between North and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Answer 1

C) The construction of the Aswan Dam to provide hydroelectric power and irrigation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The construction of the Aswan Dam to provide hydroelectric power and irrigation is the BEST example of human-environmental interaction in North Africa. North Africa has an arid climate. This causes challenges in growing enough food to sustain their population. In Egypt the majority of people live directly on the Nile delta. The Aswan Dam was constructed in 1960 to allow crops to grow year round and open up new land in addition to providing hydroelectric power to sustain developing industry.
