Location and Connectivity: What are the absolute and relative locations of your selected region? How does this region connect to others? The Middle East stretches over two thousand miles from the Black Sea in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south, and around one thousand miles from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the mountains of Iran. The coordinates are Latitude: 29.2985 and Longitude: -42.5510. 2. Physical Characteristics: How would you describe the climate, physiography, landscape, and natural hazards of your selected region? Address at least three of the physical characteristics listed above for this worksheet. Note: This is part of the Place theme of geography. Mountains and deserts divide the Middles East into six zones. These zones are the Sahara Desert, Mediterranean coastal plain, the Levant, Arabian Peninsula, Tauras Mountains, and Mesopotamia. The climate of the Middle East varies from warm summers and cold winters of highland Turkey and Iran, through hotter summers and cool winters of northern Mesopotamia, to extreme temperatures of the Arabian desert. Overall, the Middle east is arid. The Middle East has a variety of physical features such as mountains, Deserts, plains, rivers, seacoasts, and fertile crescent countries. Some Natural Hazards are droughts, earthquakes, water scarcity, and heat waves.

Question Response 3. Human Characteristics: What are the language families/groups, religions, races, and cultures of your selected region? What are the region’s population density and economic development? Address at least three of the human characteristics listed above for this worksheet. Note: This also is part of the Place theme of geography. The Middle East is a unique blend of traditions, food, religions, languages, and cultures. It is the birthplace of the three biggest religions in the world, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. There are dozens of languages spoken in the middle east and are split into three main groups, Semitic, Indo-European, and Turkic. 4. Human/Environment Interactions: How do the physical and human characteristics interact to produce notable observations of the landscape in your selected region? Address at least three of this worksheet's human/environmental characteristics listed above. You can observe the physical characteristics though human interaction by looking at the architecture and how people dress in the middle east. They wear light clothes from head to toe, this keeps them protected from the sun and harsh desert heat without causing humans to become overheated. Although just like any region in the world, humans have caused a large amount of water and air pollution. 5. Movement: With how much ease and ability do ideas, goods, and people flow in and out of your selected region? What drives this movement? Movement within the Middle East can be challenging depending on where the people are living. If they are by the coast, then they can easily use boats to transport people or goods. Now if they are living near the desert or the mountains, they may have a hard time trading and traveling. References: Foundations. The Geography of the Middle East, Geoff Emberling. (n.d.).
