Good afternoon All, the themes of Geography that I will be focusing on is Movement that link these two areas together. The means to transport goods, services, and people efficiently and quickly have always led to population build up in these certain areas. I read about that last week when I saw how manufacturing jobs and towns were built near and around the route of the Trans-Siberia Railroad. The close proximity to North Africa and Southwest Asia via the surrounding bodies of water show why these two areas are linked together. The exploit of natural resources in each of these regions created immense revenues. The natural resources that laid underneath are oil and natural gas, having these resources located near shipping lanes produced fundamental changes quickly. The increase in wealth allowed for spending on infrastructure including airports, seaports, tunnels, and highways.
Due to the rapid growth of these areas they have been subjected to an influx of workers from all around. This is due to the higher wages that are being offered compared to nearby countries that offer lower wages.

Hi Friends!
There are certain things about how the world is divided into regions that are strange to me and this is one of them! Eight weeks ago if you asked me what region North Africa is a part of, I would’ve said “Africa” without thinking. Shows that we can never be too sure. sections of Africa are very different from each other and can almost seem like completely different worlds in terms of the people, the culture, the food, and really everything.
I believe Northern Africa and SouthWest Asia are pulled together because of their relative location and shared religious belief.
I personally am not a religious person, but I understand how it can bring massive groups together and make them feel like one. The Northern Africa region and the SouthWest Asia region both follow the religion of Islam. According to the map shown in our textbook, when Islam started to get bigger it spread across SW Asia and Northern Africa, but it did not reach the regions we would assume North Africa would be put with (Nijman, 2015).
This idea of religion putting these areas together reminds me of North America and Christianity. In North America, 70% of the United States are practicing Christians, 67% for Canada and 87% for Mexico (Junior, 2019).
Thanks!
