Access to drinkable water is a major issue in North Africa/ Southwest Asia. Seawater has salt in it so people can not drink it and live. Only in the very wealthy, oil-producing countries like Qatar, Bahrain, and Yemen are desalinization plants found that take seawater and turn it into freshwater. It is very expensive to

Microscopic plants and animals lived and died in the waters. Their remains sank and became mingled with the sand and mud on the bottom of the sea. Southwest Asia contains much of the oil supply. As you learned in Chapter 21, about 64 percent of the world's proven oil deposits and 34 percent of its reserves of natural gas are found in this region. By the year 2020, exports from Southwest Asia will probably provide about 44.5 million barrels of oil per day, or about 50 percent of world demand. Southwest Asia has a lot of oil because deep underground, in most areas, there is a type of rock that they drill through. Inside that rock is oil.
