"The Sputnik launch changed everything. As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off-guard. Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-pound payload. In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on November 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika.
The Sputnik launch also led directly to the creation of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In July 1958, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act (commonly called the "Space Act"), which created NASA as of October 1, 1958 from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and other government agencies."- https://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/
Answer:
My best guess, the zagros mountains itd be isolation and protection...the same for the Syrian desert. the Taurus mountains look like they have a river running through them so it could be isolation and protection, or isolation and irrigation.....(wouldn't isolation in turn mean protection??) I would think so....so I'd go with isolation and irrigation if it were me.
the Tigres and Euphrates would bother provide irrigation and transportation and trade as they have large rivers running through them
They spent around 3.2 million dollars.

Explanation:
Coal was excellent to help in the production of metals as they required high temperatures. The demand for coal also created a need for more efficient methods of transport. Those methods of transport used the steam engine. This allowed people to gather and use resources from further away and more efficiently.
The locomotive engine could generate more power and carry heavier loads. This made it one of the best options for delivering raw materials, such as coal, or the transport of people over long distances.
The tracks were designed to be uniform and that all the trains and their carriages would have to comply with the same design. The tracks also had to be separated to allow for carriages of different size to pass each other. Stephenson also created a timetable for all trains on his lines to follow and double tracks to avoid any collisions.
