Adaption
The ancient Egyptians adapted to their environment by using camels as an easy way to get across the hot and dry desert.
They developed hieroglyphics and the Rosetta Stone to communicate easily through symbols; these symbols were carved everywhere from obelisks to tombs to painted onto scrolls of papyrus.
The ancient Egyptians lived in mudbrick houses that protected them from rain, wind, and dust.
Many also had shaved heads and wore thin linen clothes that allowed them to work in the heat; small children often went naked.

Modification
The Egyptians used limestone, mined from the earth, to build temples, pyramids, tombs, and obelisks. They modified their environment by carving out the limestone and erecting these structures.
They developed an irrigation system, taking water from the Nile (and its flood) and depositing it on crops in order for them to grow better. The ancient Egyptians modified their environment and created the irrigation system by carving little canals in the ground, which carried water to the plants (and soaked into the ground to create healthier and richer soil).

The Egyptians relied on their environment, too!
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile for water, and as a means to grow their crops (food). The Nile's yearly flood was also very important to them too, because it provided rich soil for those crops.
They were also dependent on the reeds along the Nile for papyrus, which was in turn used as paper and traded to other countries.
