Climate has a big impact on where people choose to live. The most dominate climate found in the Middle East is an Arid (desert) climate. Countries that have this climate are Saudi Arabia, Western Sahara, Niger, Egypt, and Oman. The Mediterranean climate is less dominant than most climate regions located in the Middle East. The Mediterranean climate region is close to large bodies of water for example the Mediterranean Sea. Countries that have this climate region are Morocco, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq. (“Climate and Vegetation Map” on page 362.) These different climate regions have a major effect on where people live. Looking at the population density map it shows more people live by large bodies of water because there is more vegetation. There

In the future I predict that the water level will go down because of the temperatures rising everyday. I anticipate the climate near major bodies of water like the Mediterranean water level will go down. The climate near the Mediterranean Sea is a Mediterranean climate I believe it will slowly disappear, and it will slowly become more of an Arid (desert) climate. That is why climate has a big impact on where people live. Natural resources have a major effect on the Middle East countries because their economies get affected. Some natural resources that dominate the Middle East are Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Lead. Most countries in the Middle East have 3 or more resources. These countries are Algeria, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Afghanistan. This tells us that these countries make more money because they have more resources. A lot of countries in the Middle East get most of their income from petroleum also known as oil. Some countries that have no natural resources are Western Sahara, Mali, Chad, Sudan, and Tajikistan. This affects these countries economies differently they make less money because they have no natural resources to sell. (“Economic …show more content…
More people are located close to the sea is because of better transportation, fishing, and better farming. (“Population Density Map” on page 364.) This is also true for the United States people tend to live near water. A large number of people live near the Mississippi River, Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. The Mountains in The Middle East are well populated some of these mountains and mountain ranges are Pontic Mountains, Taurus Mountains, Elburz Mountains, Ismoili Somoni Mountain, Damavand Mountain, and Zagros Mountains. Geography impacts culture by the clothing they wear, the food they eat, the jobs they have. Climate impacts culture because if it's an Arid Climate the people living there will normally dress with shorts and shirts, they wont wear sweaters or heavy jackets. The religion which is also part of culture can impact what the people wear. The food vary through different culture because of what there is for vegetation and the animals living there. The jobs in cultures are different because of the
