Question 1
1.
How does SW Asia's location influence its population distribution?
All areas are equally populated
It is much more arid inland, encouraging coastal settlement
People prefer the North because it is colder.
Mountains prevent settlement by people
Question 2
2.
Why are the majority of population centers in SW Asia near bodies of water?
Availability of water resources for survival
Ease of transportation
The land is unusable anywhere else.
Being near water protects them from invasion.
Question 3
3.
How has the discovery of oil in SW Asia influenced population distribution?
Population decline in oil rich areas
Led to the growth of urban centers
Decreased coastal populations
Spread out the population evenly
Question 4
4.
How does the desert climate of SW Asia affect where populations settle?
People avoid hot climates and leave SW Asia
Most people live where water is available
People live evenly distributed in the region
It has no impact on settlement patterns
Question 5
5.
Why do many of the citizens of SW Asia live near coastal areas?
It is easier to trade when you are near the coast.
The water of the gulfs and seas are needed for drinking and irrigation.
Violent tribes have taken control of the interior parts of the countries.
The weather is much hotter near the coasts.
Question 6
6.
How does the availability of oil in SW Asia affect population density?
Areas with oil tend to have higher population density
Oil availability has no impact on population density
Oil availability decreases population density
Areas without oil are more densely populated
Question 7
7.
Why does the desert climate in parts of SW Asia result in low population density?
All deserts are uninhabited
People simply prefer non-desert climates
Desert climates promote high population density
Harsh conditions and lack of resources make living difficult
Question 8
8.
What impact does access to water bodies have on SW Asia’s population?
Water bodies have no impact on population distribution
Populations are often higher near reliable water sources
People avoid living near water bodies
Water bodies lead to lower population densities
Question 9
9.
Why are many major cities in SW Asia located near oil fields or along coastlines?
Proximity to other continents
Tradition plays a major role
Access to resources and trade routes
Cities are randomly distributed
Question 10
10.
