Impact of Location, climate, physical characteristics, distribution of natural resources and population distribution on southwest Asia middle east:
The excessive oil and natural gas resources that the population of South West Asia or Middle East possess leads to a divide in the populations into a population that has ownership of an oil field and thus possesses a lot of wealth and virtue, which leads to money going away from the poorer sections, increasing the divide leading to a population of haves and have nots. More than half of the world’s natural oil resources fall in this area.
The natural resources affect this by leading the population into a divide on the basis of ownership of these resources.
