Arabian Mountain Adaptation

People have been living in the mountains for thousands of years. In the 6th century many people lived in the Asir Mountains, the people there farmed on the steep slopes by making terraces. The farmers also made damns and irrigation syatems. Also, they collected rain water, leather bags, and hollowed-out trees. To fertilize the soil they probally used manure and ashes. Mountain life hasnt changed much since then.

Arabian Mountains Enviroment

The mountains divide the desert from the coastal plains. The mountains can rise between 1,000 to 12,000 feet tall. The mountains can get as much as 20 inches of rain each year. The mountains tempeture is mainly cool. Sometimes during winter frost can form.

Arabian Coastal Plain Adaptations

 The costal plain ranges are great for farming when the dry desert is not. In the 6th century most of the people were farmers because of the fertile land. The people were also traders, because of their sea ports they could trade with many people like India and East Africa along with areas from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. With farming and trading, the Coastal Plains had very powerful kingdoms.

Arabian Coastal Plain Environment

The environment's air is damp and moist with rain fall regularly. It is between 5 and 40 miles inland and ends with many rocky cliffs. Also, the coastal plain's have some natural harbors.

Arabian Desert Adaptations

Many Arabs lived in villages or towns but some were Nomads, who traveled through the desert while raising sheep, goat, and camels. Today they're still nomads who still live the ways as their ancestors.

Arabian Desert Environment


A majority of the land is desert. Its very hot and dry and is also very harsh. can rise above 120 degrees fahrenheit. When rain comes it occurs of usually violent storms and flash floods.

Arabian Oasis Adaption


At first nomads went to them while traveling and some even stayed and became sedentary. Today, towns surround Oases and many of the towns became small trading centers.

India Presentation Wrap-Up's

India's great scientist's of the past conclude of yet great scientist's/mathmatian's who discovered plastic surgery and to be more specific nose jobs now a days, and also the knowing the phases of the moon, and the knowing of how eclipse's occour.

Another, is the great Geography which concludes monsoons which are big rain storms that the people practically woriship, great plains, sandy desserts, and climate that concludes of tropic and sub tropic.

The medical of ancient and now times presentations taught me about the "vedas" which are like the doctors, the men who invented surgery and nose jobs, and the plants used as remedys and medicine still used now for the same and diffrent reason's.

The last one I will review are the great structures and temples in India which most tend to be sacred in some way either being a shrine or a place to worship, one of the main structures is the Taj Mahal known for beinging one of the eight wonders of world and is made entirely of white marbel.
