It notes that this region has large oil and natural gas reserves, making it a key global supplier of fossil fuels. However, it also faces environmental challenges like scarce water resources, desertification, pollution from oil refining, and damage from irrigation practices. The arid climate and lack of water greatly impact how people live in the region.
The document summarizes the physical geography of North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia. Some key points include:
- The region covers a vast area from parts of Africa to Asia, spanning 4,300 miles across diverse terrain including mountains, deserts, and fertile river valleys.
- Major physical features include the Atlas Mountains, Arabian Peninsula, Anatolian Plateau, Tian Shan range, and four seas: the Mediterranean, Caspian, Persian Gulf, and Red Sea.
- Historically, civilizations developed along rivers like the Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates which provided water for agriculture. However, many rivers now face challenges like damming and diversion projects.
-
1. The Middle East is a strategic location because it connects 3 continents and is at the crossroads of historic trade routes, it contains 65% of the world's known oil reserves, and houses many sites of religious importance.
2. Water resources in the Middle East both promote conflict and cooperation - countries fight over control of cross-border water sources but also build joint infrastructure like dams and irrigation systems to manage scarce water.
3. The major geographic features dictate settlement patterns by concentrating populations in places like the fertile Nile river valley, along coastal areas, and in oases, while vast deserts like the Rub al-Khali are virtually uninhab
1. The Middle East is a strategic location as it connects 3 continents and contains 65% of the world's known oil reserves. Water resources in the region both cause conflict, such as countries controlling each other's supplies, and cooperation through shared irrigation projects. 2. Major geographic features like the fertile crescent and Nile River valley dictated settlement patterns and population density, with most people living in fertile areas like Egypt's Nile Delta. 3. Humans have changed the environment through projects like Egypt's Aswan Dam, which controls flooding but removed replenishing soil, and the Suez Canal to transport goods between continents.

The document summarizes the physical geography of Southwest Asia, including its landforms, climate, vegetation and human-environment interactions. Some key points are:
- The region has a variety of landforms from coastal plains to mountains, and is an important land bridge between continents. It contains many strategic waterways.
- The climate is mostly arid with deserts limiting movement. Agriculture depends on irrigation of rivers and coastal areas have a Mediterranean climate.
- Half the world's oil reserves are found in Southwest Asia, but water is scarce, forcing various irrigation techniques. Disputes arise over water resources like the Euphrates River.
Southwest Asia has several important landforms and waterways. It contains two large peninsulas, the Arabian Peninsula and Anatolian Peninsula. Key bodies of water include the Red Sea, Suez Canal, Black Sea, Bosporus and Dardanelle Straits, Arabian Sea, and Persian Gulf. The Jordan River and Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are also significant. Much of the region contains plains and deserts, but there are also highlands and mountain ranges like the Zagros and Elburz Mountains. A major resource is oil, with about half of global reserves located in Southwest Asia.
21.3 - SW Asia Human Environment InteractionDan Ewert
The document summarizes human-environment interaction in Southwest Asia. It notes that the region is hot and dry, making water an important resource as the population increases. Dams and irrigation systems have been constructed to divert rivers for water storage and irrigation, though these disrupt natural river ecosystems. Modern methods like drip irrigation and desalination plants provide alternatives, but are costly and produce waste. The region also relies heavily on fossil fuels like oil, discovered in the early 20th century, which has brought wealth but risks like potential oil spills from large supertankers transporting crude oil internationally.
The document discusses water resources and the four major oceans. It notes that the availability and quality of water varies significantly between different parts of the world, with some areas like deserts facing scarcity. Even humid regions can experience water supply issues. The four oceans - Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic - make up 75% of the Earth's surface. The Pacific is the largest ocean, covering around 64 million square miles between Asia, Australia, and the Americas.
Water resources are unevenly distributed in Southwest Asia, with some countries like Turkey and Iraq having access to major rivers while others like Saudi Arabia are mostly desert. Irrigation is necessary for farming in many areas, and various techniques are used ranging from traditional water wheels to modern drip irrigation systems. However, increased demand for irrigation and lack of wastewater treatment has led to water pollution problems. Over half of the world's known oil reserves are located in Southwest Asia, making some countries extremely wealthy but also a source of conflict over access to resources.
The shrinking of the Aral Sea due to excessive water diversion for cotton irrigation in the Soviet era has had disastrous environmental, economic, and social consequences for the region. The Aral Sea, once the fourth largest inland sea in the world, has divided into three smaller seas due to lack of water flow from the rivers that feed it. This is due to the construction of dams and canals that redirected water away from the sea to irrigate vast cotton fields in the region. As the sea shrank, its salinity and pollution levels increased, destroying the local fishing industry and contaminating water supplies. This ecological disaster has led to declining health, unemployment, poverty, and migration for communities near the former coastline of the Ar
The document provides information about various bodies of water on Earth. It discusses that 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water, most of which is found in the oceans. The four main oceans - Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic - contain salt water and cover about half of the Earth's surface. Smaller bodies of water like seas, bays, lakes, rivers, and springs are also described. The document also lists and provides details about many bays found within the Philippines.
The document discusses the geography of North Africa, focusing on the Nile River. It notes that the Nile flows north from Ethiopia through Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea, creating a large, fertile delta. It also references the Suez Canal as connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Deserts like the Sahara are mentioned, along with mountain ranges and varied climates across North Africa.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth and contains very high salt levels, making it impossible for fish or plants to live there. It is so salty that people float easily in the water. The salt levels remain high because fresh water enters from rivers but hot, dry conditions cause much of the water to quickly evaporate, leaving the salt behind. There is a plan to pipe water from the Red Sea to prevent the Dead Sea from shrinking further due to climate change.
The Aztecs ruled a large empire in Mexico until the arrival of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1519. Cortes led a small expedition that was received peacefully by the Aztec ruler Montezuma, but Cortes then launched a surprise attack, killing many Aztecs and capturing Montezuma. Without Montezuma to lead them, the Aztec empire quickly collapsed. European diseases also devastated the native population. Cortes declared himself ruler of Mexico and the surrounding lands, and he lived a life of great wealth while most native people were enslaved or died from disease.
Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492 hoping to find a western route to Asia, bringing wealth and converting people to Christianity. He faced many obstacles in securing funding and crew for the voyage. Upon landing in the Caribbean, Columbus immediately claimed the land and native people for Spain. He established brutal rule over the native population and his criminal crew, requiring tributes of gold and committing violence. Recalled for his extreme actions, Columbus died imprisoned, still believing he had found Asia. European diseases then decimated the native populations who had no immunity.
The document summarizes the history of China from the 1800s to the establishment of communist rule under Mao Zedong in 1949. It describes how Western influence and the declining power of the Qing dynasty led to the rise of Chinese nationalism and communism in the early 20th century. Mao's leadership and military strategies, including the Long March, helped the Communist party gain support and eventually defeat the Nationalists in 1949, leading to the founding of the People's Republic of China with Mao as its leader.
Communism is a government system where resources and property are owned collectively and distributed equally. It was proposed by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in the Communist Manifesto of 1847. The goal of communism is to eliminate social classes and economic inequality by having the working class control the government to produce goods for everyone rather than for profit. It spread from Russia in the early 20th century and established communist governments in parts of Europe and Asia, with some Asian countries like China, North Korea, and Vietnam still operating under communist rule today.
The KWL chart is an instructional strategy that involves 3 columns: Know, Want to Know, and Learned. It is used before, during, and after a lesson to activate prior knowledge, guide learning goals, and assess understanding. KWL charts can be adapted for any subject area. They help students organize information and involve them in the learning process through critical thinking and self-assessment. However, KWL charts rely on prior knowledge and may not support students with low literacy or vocabulary skills without additional scaffolding techniques from the teacher.
The document summarizes key aspects of Islam, including its origins with Abraham and prophets like Muhammad. It describes Muhammad as receiving revelations from God at age 40 that became the Quran. It outlines the Five Pillars of Islam - Shahada, Salah, Zakat, Sawm, and Hajj. It also discusses the division between Sunni and Shia Muslims and practices like prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and the pilgrimage to Mecca.
Causes and results of world war i 2015Darren Terry
World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist. Major powers allied with Austria-Hungary or Serbia, drawing more countries into the war. The war was also fueled by nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and secret alliances. It resulted in immense casualties and destruction across Europe before ending in 1918. The outcomes of the war included the defeat of the Central Powers, the Russian Revolution, new borders and conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and significant political and economic instability in Europe.
The document discusses the historical context of colonialism in Africa and the ongoing economic dependence it created. It describes how Europeans colonized Africa to obtain its raw materials and establish markets and wealth. Africans were forced to grow cash crops for export but not food, making them reliant on imports. Raw materials were shipped to Europe for processing rather than building factories in Africa. This economic relationship left Africa impoverished after independence. The scene dramatizes Africa's ongoing difficulties developing manufacturing and controlling its trade due to a lack of capital, training, and high shipping/banking costs that force it to continue relying on Europe.
The Great Wall of China was built thousands of years ago and helped keep China safe for a long time, though the Mongolians were able to invade by climbing the wall. Over thousands of years, the wall was expanded and grew larger, and it eventually became so massive that parts of it can now be seen from space.
Buddhism was founded in the 6th-4th centuries BCE by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince who achieved enlightenment. The goal of Buddhism is to reach enlightenment and be at peace with everything through meditation. Buddhists believe the world was not created and have no opinion on its origins. They focus on the present. Hinduism is older and believes the universe cycles through creation and destruction. It has many gods like Brahman, Vishnu, and Shiva who take different roles in the cycle. Both religions emphasize concepts like karma, samsara, and dharma.
Thousands of years ago, people settled in the Indus Valley region of South Asia, establishing cities like Mohenjo-Daro that showed signs of urban planning. Over time, invaders like the Aryans influenced the culture and religions of the region, helping form Hinduism. Buddhism also originated in India under leaders like Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC, who helped spread it. European traders became interested in South Asia for its spices and pearls in the 1600s, with the British East India Company establishing coastal trading posts. India gained independence in 1947 after nonviolent protests led by Gandhi, though Pakistan and Bangladesh were formed to separate Muslim and Hindu populations.
South Asia consists of 7 countries located in the southern region of Asia, separated from the rest of Asia by mountain ranges such as the Himalayas. The region contains important rivers that both help and harm the population - they provide water for agriculture but also cause flooding during monsoons. The summer monsoon rains are vital for the region's agriculture but also bring damaging floods due to heavy precipitation.
The Hebrews originated as nomadic tribes in Canaan around 1800 BCE and considered themselves God's chosen people. They established kingdoms in the region until being conquered by Babylonians in 586 BCE and dispersed. After Persian and Roman rule, Jews established settlements in Palestine but faced persecution. In the late 1800s, Zionism emerged to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. After British and UN involvement, Israel declared independence in 1948, though neighboring Arab states opposed a Jewish state. Subsequent wars and peace agreements have established Israel but conflict over land and a Palestinian state continues.
The document discusses the history of the creation of Israel as a Jewish homeland. It notes that after being forced from their homeland around 135 AD, Jewish people were dispersed globally and unable to establish their own nation. This dispersal is known as the Diaspora. Zionists were people who favored establishing a Jewish homeland. In 1917, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration pledging to support a Jewish homeland, though this deepened tensions in the Middle East. There was a migration of Jews to Palestine after the horrors of the Holocaust. After Britain withdrew in 1948, Jews proclaimed the independent state of Israel, though Arab states launched a military attack against the new nation.

The document summarizes the creation stories and key figures from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It describes how all three Abrahamic religions share the same creation story of God creating the world over 7 days. It then discusses Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden until eating the forbidden fruit, Noah and the great flood, Jesus and his teachings and death, the spread of Christianity and conflicts with Rome and the Islamic world, and Martin Luther sparking the Protestant Reformation by nailing his 95 theses criticizing corruption in the Catholic Church.
The document provides an overview of key figures and stories from Judaism's creation narrative and early history. It describes how God created the world over 7 days according to Judaism. It discusses Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and their act of disobedience that led to original sin. It also summarizes stories of Noah and the flood, Abraham being considered the father of Judaism/Christianity/Islam, Jacob wrestling with an angel and being renamed Israel, and Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt after receiving the Ten Commandments from God.
Early humans were hunter-gatherers who would hunt wild game and find edible foods like berries and nuts in their environment. They formed small groups called bands and would move locations once the local resources were used up. One important discovery was learning how to use and maintain fire, which had multiple uses including making hunting easier when humans learned to create tools. Settling in areas led to agriculture and the growing of food. In addition to growing food, early humans also learned to herd animals for their own use.
The document discusses early human interaction with the environment. It explains that early humans were hunter-gatherers who relied on gathering wild plants and hunting animals for food, clothing, and shelter. People lived nomadic lifestyles, migrating in family clans to follow food sources. The discovery of fire and development of simple tools assisted hunting and gathering. Scarcity of resources in some areas led to the beginnings of agriculture, as humans started cultivating plants and domesticating animals like sheep and goats.
The document contains 11 multiple choice questions about Middle East geography. Specifically, it asks about bodies of water bordering the Arabian Peninsula, geographic features of Southwest Asia, how the Tigris and Euphrates rivers helped civilization and agriculture, differences between the Syrian and Rub'al-Khali deserts, how people have adapted to living in deserts, important resources provided by deserts to both local people and the Western world, and natural versus human-made water sources in the Middle East.

2. Southwest Asia
is often called
the Middle East
because it is the
land between
Europe and Asia.
Some of the
different countries
in the Middle East
are Saudi Arabia,
Iraq, Iran, Jordan,
Israel, Afghanistan
and Turkey.
3. Southwest Asia is
surrounded by many
different bodies of
water.
Black Sea
Persian Gulf
Mediterranean Sea
Red Sea
Arabian Sea
4. All of the different bodies of water that surround
Southwest Asia have resulted in much of the land being
carved into 2 peninsulas.
The Arabian
Peninsula
-Countries of
Saudi Arabia,
Yemen, Oman,
and United Arab
Emirates
-Surrounded by
5 different
bodies of water
Asia Minor
-Location of
Turkey
-Surrounded by
the Black Sea
and the
Mediterranean
Sea.
5. Questions 1-3
• 1. What bodies of water border the
Arabian Peninsula?
• 2. The middle east separates what two
large land masses?
• 3. What two geographic features make up
a majority of Southwest Asia
7. The Dead Sea is located
along the border of the
West Bank, Jordan, and
Israel and is the lowest
point below sea level in
Eurasia.
The Dead Sea is famous
because it is one of the
saltiest bodies of water on
earth with a salinity 8
times greater than the
average ocean salinity.
The large amount of salt
means that any person
who goes into the sea can
float!
The Dead Sea
But be careful, just like any
other salt water, the water will
sting cuts and will cause
severe pain if it gets in your
eyes!!!
8. The Tigris River vs. The Euphrates River
There are 2 main rivers in Southwest Asia: The Tigris and the
Euphrates.
Tigris River Both Euphrates
River
-1,180 miles
long
-Runs for just
20 miles along
Syrian Border
-Begin as
streams in
Turkey and
meet in Iraq
-Create a
fertile plain for
farming
-1,740 miles
long
-longest river
in SW Asia
-In Syria, free
of rapids and
deep enough
for boats
9. The fertile area between the Tigris and Euphrates has been called
Mesopotamia, or “the land between the rivers.”
This plain consists of alluvial soil, which is soil that is deposited when a
river floods over its banks,
For nearly 5,000 years the people living in Iraq have settled on or near
this plain.
Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, is located in this area between the two rivers.
Question: How
would building a
city in such a
location contribute
to its success and
importance?
Answer: Because Baghdad would always have access to food and water.
Plus the rivers would help increase trading.
10. Questions 4-6
• 4. Why is the name of the Dead Sea and
the Caspian Sea misleading? (hint: you
may need your book)
• 5. Why are the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
called “The cradle of civilization?”
• 6. How have the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers helped Iraq’s agriculture?
11. A large amount of desert covers much of Southwest Asia.
There are two main deserts in this region: the Syrian
Desert and the Rub’ al-Khali.
The Syrian Desert covers a lot of
Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and
Jordan. This desert has a rocky
landscape and sandy areas are
rare. These parts of the desert
receives almost no rain. Strong
winds cause huge dust storms.
The Rub’ al-Khali, translated to the
Empty Quarter, is one of the largest
sand deserts in the world. With
summer temperatures reaching as
high as 131 degrees and sand dunes
as tall as 1000 ft, this is one of the
most forbidding places on Earth!
12. People live in the desert?!? Amazingly enough, there
are some people who live
in desert regions. Along
the edges of the Arabian
Desert there are
mountains that receive
enough rain fall for
farming.
Other people settle near
an oasis, which is a
place in a desert that has
a dependable supply of
water.
Where does the water in
an oasis come from?
Often the water from an oasis comes
from underground springs and can
provide enough water for farmers to
grow crops and raise animals.
13. Deserts are very important because they can provide several different
natural resources. The deserts in Southwest Asia provide iron ore,
coal, copper, and rock salt. The most important resources that can be
found in this region are natural gas and oil which are both kinds of fossil
fuels.
Oil and natural gas are an
important resources
because people all over
the world use them to
power cars, planes,
boats, heat their homes,
and to generate
electricity.
People in Southwest Asia
are looking to develop
new industries because
both oil and natural gas
are non-renewable
resources and will not last
forever.
14. Even though Southwest Asia is
surrounded by large amounts of water, it
is all salt which can’t be used for drinking
or farming. This means that fresh water
is a very rare and precious resource to
the people who live in Southwest Asia.
To many people it is more important than
oil.
15. Questions 7-10
• 7. List two differences between the Syrian
Desert and the Rub’ al-Khali Desert.
• 8. What are two ways people have
adapted to living in a desert?
• 9. What is the desert’s most important
resource to the Western World? Why?
• 10. What is the desert’s most important
resource to people of the desert? Why?
16. Rivers As a Source of Fresh Water
Rivers can be a good source of fresh water, but the
surface water can evaporate quickly in desert areas. An
exotic river is one that starts in a wetter place and flows
into a drier place.
Question: Why can
depending on rivers
for fresh water be a
bad thing?
Answer: People
upstream can use it up or
pollute it leaving little for
the people downstream.
17. Another source of fresh water is in a wadis, or riverbeds
that are usually dry. During the rainy season these
riverbeds will fill up with water for people to use.
Question: How could a
wadis be a poor fresh
water source?
Answer: The dry riverbeds can
soak up the water and the
rains can be unpredictable.
Wadis
18. Good Sources for Fresh Water
Aquifers: underground layers of rock or
sand that hold water. The water may be
thousands of years old, but it is still pure
and fresh.
Qanats: underground canals.
Many people in Southwest Asia
have used qanats to tap into springs
in the mountains or hills and move
the water to where it is needed.
Desalinization: a process that removes
the salt from salt water. The water can be
used for irrigation or for drinking. This
process does require a large amount of
energy and money so only countries rich in
oil can use this process on a large scale.
19. Questions 11-12
• 11. Describe the three processes people
of the desert use to gather fresh water
where there is no stream or wadis.
• 12. List all naturally occuring water
sources and list all human-made water
sources. What is the difference between
the two?
• 13. Which water sources are reliable and
unreliable?
