    4. Euphrates and Tigris


  2. 1. About 20 degrees

    2. None of the Above

  3. 1.40-50

    2.B.

    3.Mexico city

    4.Mesopotamia was in between two rivers, Euphrates and Tigris.

  4. 1. About 20 degrees of latitude and about 21 degrees of longitude.

    2. It's actually about about 35 degrees South, 20 degrees East.  Perhaps you meant to ask about the southern tip of South America?  That's at least in the right demihemisphere, but it's still not particularly close to any of the options you listed (it's at roughly 55 degrees South, 66 degrees West.  Of the options you list, B is the closest (for South America), but it's still not very close.

    3. The Prime Meridian goes through Greater London, so it would have to be the closest.

    4. Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.  In fact, the word "Mesopotamia" comes from the Greek for "Land between two rivers".
