Question
Where do most people in Arabia and Iraq live?
a. in the Fertile Crescent
b. in the Rub' al-Khali
c. in cities
d. in and around Mecca
I think the answer is "a" because people have clustered in the mountains of Iraw and Yemen, near the Tigris and Euphrates rivers of Iraq and desert oases on the Arabian Peninsula.
I did search on the book and that what is says, and in the map it looks like people have clustered in the fertile cresent since there's water in there.
I'm not sure.
This is the only question in which I have doubt.
Thanks

I agree.
I suspect, though, that most people also live in cities in these two countries.

cities. Compare these two maps, one of population, one of cities.

Is there any webpage that can help?
bobpursley
yes, look at those two.

It's true that the countries of the region are heavily urbanized. I'm really confused. I'll keep studying.

I agree, good job explaining instead of just asking!!!

I did my study and the truth is they mostly live in towns and cities.
