The Geography of the Middle East

Paper Summary:

The Middle East is located at a unique position on the Earth. At first, this region was part of the African and Asian continents. Over time, due to plate tectonics, the region altered its shape and location. It is now found at the junction between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Given this, it has some distinctiveness that is exclusive only to itself. This paper shows why the Middle East is unlucky in its environmental characteristics - climatically, geologically and agriculturally.

From the Paper:

"It is a know hotspot for seismic activity and also has been known for its volcanic past. Due to the combined causes of the selective feeding of livestock and unusable soil, the agricultural system in the Middle East has suffered. The climate is barren and dry in many places in the Middle East. Also, the temperature swells, in the entire region, from an incredible degree of direct heat from the sun. Thus, the climate, as in all cases, is directly related to agriculture."
