Can the middle east use its natural resources to improve the lives of its people

Social Studies
1 answer:
OverLord2011 [107]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:  

Like oil and water

The Middle East has always had a rich abundance of natural resources, although which resources are coveted and valued has changed over time. Today, abundant petroleum fields dominate the area's economy. The Middle East is similarly disproportionately rich in natural gas (32 percent of the world's known natural gas reserves are in the region) and phosphate (Morocco alone has more than half of the world's reserves).

Water has always been an important resource in the Middle East -- for its relative scarcity rather than its abundance. Disputes over rights to water (for example, building a dam in one country upstream from another) are a fundamental part of the political relationships in the region. Water for irrigation is necessary for many of the ecosystems to sustain crops.

What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 electoral votes?
Talja [164]

If no presidential candidate gets 270 electoral votes, the House of Representatives decides who will be the next president.

This has happened in the US before, during the election of 1824. In this race, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Henry Clay ran for president. None of them got enough electoral college votes to become president. Even though Andrew Jackson got the most electoral college votes out of all the nominees, the House of Representatives picked John Quincy Adams to become America's next president.
