Climate zones: BWh-Hot desert climates BSh-Hot semi-arid climates Cwa-Humid subtropical climate Am-Tropical monsoon climate
The latitude of Delhi, India is 28 35N. The average elevation of India is about 350ft above sea level. The climate zones of India are BWh-Hot desert climates, BSh-Hot semi-arid climates, Cwa-Humid subtropical climate, Am-Tropical monsoon climate. West coasts of continents in tropical and subtropical latitudes (except close to the equator) are bordered by cool waters. Their average temperatures are relatively low with small diurnal and annual ranges. There is fog, but generally the areas (southern California, Mo-rocco, etc.) are arid. West coasts of continents in middle and higher latitudes are bordered by warm waters which cause a distinct marine climate. They are characterized by cool summers and relatively mild winters with a small annual range of temperatures (upper west coasts of the United States and Europe). The average monthly rainfall of the Panta climate zone is 3.267 inches, the average monthly rainfall of the Delhi is 2.308 inches. Here is the topography map. The prevailing winds for Dehli are JAN-4, FEB-4, MAR-5, APR-6, MAY-8, JUN- 6, JUL-6 AUG- 6, SEP-6, OCT- 5, NOV- 3, DEC-4. Most of India is tropical Dry, but some is tropical Thorn. Not many variations in pressure except when the altitude is 6,000ft. The Asiatic Monsoon influences the currents of the North Indian Ocean, while the currents of the South Indian Ocean are influenced by the atmosphere’s anticyclone circulation.

Latitude-Middle East
Because the Middle East's latitude is mostly near the Equator, it gets a pretty direct angle of isolation. This cuases the temperatures, in the lower countries espicially, to be warmer.
Elevation-Middle East
The elevation of most of the Middle East is between 501-1,500 in the West or between 251-(-407) meters in the East above sea level. For every 1000 feet above sea level the temperature decreeses 4 degrees. This causes colder temperatures in the West to be cooler, but the tmeperautures in the East warmer.
Topography- Middle East
The Rub al Khali is a large desert in the Middle East where the average maximum daily temperature is about 47 degrees celsius. Mt. Elbrus is the highest point in the Middle East, the average temperature there (in the valley) is 20 degrees celsius. [7] [8] [9]
Prevailing Winds-Middle East
Prevailing winds don't affect the Middle East much.
Vegetation-Middle East
There isn't much vegetation in the Middle East. Most of it is desert scrub. [10]
High and Low Pressure Zones-Middle East
The Middle East is currently near a high pressure zone in Asia. This means that wind and storms are blown into the area. [11]
Geology
Types of Rocks Found in the Middle East
Sedimentary rocks form from sediments being compacted and cemented together. Sand, for example, can be compacted into fine grained sedimentary rocks. There are a lot sedimentary rocks in the Middle East because of all the deserts. Metamorphic rocks form from an igneous, sedimentary, or another metamorphic rock being subjected to high heat and pressure. When tectonic plates push against each other to form mountains there is a lot of heat and pressure forming metamorphic rocks. There are also metamorphic rocks from when the mountains formed. [12]
Types of Rocks Found in India
Along with forming in deserts, sedimentary rocks also form in rivers. When sediments are uplifted they are carried down river where they settle. The larger sediments typically settle near the head of the river and the smaller sediments typically settle in calmer waters near the end. India has a lot of sedimentary rocks because of all the rivers. Like the in Middle East, the Southern part of India has a few mountain ranges. [13]
Major Minerals of the Middle East
Metals- The Middle East region accounted for 12% of the world’s chromite production, 7% of the world’s aluminum production, and 3% of the world’s crude steel production. Crude steel production in the Middle east region decreased to 42.3 Mt in 2009 compared with 44 Mt in 2008.
Industrial Minerals- The Middle East region accounted for 17% of the world’s gypsum production, 14% of the world’s potash production, and 7% of the world’s ammonia, cement, and phosphate rock production. In 2009, the volumes of potash and phosphate rock production decreased significantly compared with that of 2008 owing to the decreased demand that resulted from the financial crisis that affected most of the world in 2009.
Mineral Fuels- The Middle East region production of crude oil accounts for 29% of the world’s total crude oil production. The region is responsible for 13.6% of the world’s natural gas production. The main type of oil found in the region is petroleum. [14]
Major Minerals of India
Metal- In India the metals produced are copper, produced 394,000 tons, iron, produced 8,120,00, manganese, and titanium.
Industrial Minerals- Graphite has a capacity of 10,000 ton/yr of processed graphite from five mines—Beharamunda, Deharmunda, Dudkamal, Gandabhali, and Temrimal. Also diamond, produces 27.4 million carrots, and cement are also a part of India's industry.
MIneral Fules- As well as the minerals above, India produces many fuels such as coal, natural gas, petroleum, and uranium.
