-Less than 10 inches of rain per year
-Hot days and cold nights
• Semiarid-avg. 16 inches of rain -allows some agriculture
• Mediterranean-hot summers and mild,
rainy winters-prefect for fruits/vegetables

WHAT IS CRUDE OIL?
• CRUDE OIL OR PETROLEUM IS A FOSSIL FUEL (ALONG WITH COAL/NATURAL GAS)
• DECAYED PLANT AND ANIMAL MATTER-MILLIONS OF YEARS
• NONRENEWABLE RESOURCE
![Page 21: PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF SW ASIA. SW ASIA Connects Asia, Africa, & Europe -a busy trade route throughout history -site of many invasions.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b7e4f550346167e8b48ee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
oil
• 1 barrel of oil=42 gallons
• 42 gallons of crude oil will become 19 gallons of fuel
• Crude oil-how it comes out of the ground
• Oil refinery-turns crude into products
