Match the definition to its correct term.

The Middle East is a region of great geopolitical importance. The region is in between Europe and the Far East, and between Africa and the Far East. Also, it is a region that has enormous reserves of oil and natural gas, two of the fossil fuels that are in highest demand in all world. The Arabian Peninsula and Iran are the two largest entities in the Middle East, and they are surrounded with numerous straits, gulfs, and seas, all of which have big importance in one way or another. The Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean are connecting this region with India and the rest of the Far East. The Red Sea is an important trade route between the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans, thus between Europe and Asia. Some gulfs simply represent division points between the countries in the region, while some like the Aden Gulf are very dangerous, as there is lot of Somali pirates that constantly attack tankers full with petroleum.

Explanation:

Red Sea

The (6)Red Sea is a narrow inlet of the Indian Ocean separating Africa and Asia. As you look at the map below, notice that Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea lie to the west of the sea in Africa; Saudi Arabia and Yemen lie to the east in Southwest Asia.The Bab-el-Mandeb Strait connects the southern portion of the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Aden. The Suez Canal connects the northern portion of the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. Major Asian ports on the Red Sea include Jiddah in Saudi Arabia and Al Hudaydah and Mocha in Yemen.

Arabian Sea

(2)The Arabian Sea lies between the Arabian Peninsula and India. Two important branches of the sea are the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. What water systems connect the Arabian Sea to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf?As mentioned earlier,(3) the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, west of Yemen, connects the Arabian and Red Seas. The Gulf of Oman connects the Arabian Sea with the Persian Gulf.

Persian Gulf

(5)The Persian Gulf separates the Arabian Peninsula from nearby Iran. It extends for six hundred miles (970 km) from the Strait of Hormuz to the Shatt al Arab, a river formed by the joining of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain have major ports on the Persian Gulf.(7)The narrowest point of the gulf is at the Strait of Hormuz. This narrow strait presents a challenge for the commercial ships transporting the region's petroleum.The Persian Gulf and the surrounding countries contain much of the world's supply of petroleum and natural gas. In 2000, it was estimated the two-thirds of the world's petroleum resources were in this region and more than one-third of its natural gas.

Gulf of Aden

Located in the Arabian Sea between the Yemen and the Horn of Africa, the gulf is part of a (1)major trading route between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
