Western Asia

Western Asia, West Asia, Southwestern Asia or Southwest Asia is the westernmost sub-region of Asia.

         The countries that include in Western Asia are Cyprus, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, at Yemen. Western Asia's major industry is Petroleum, as more than half of the world's oil reserves and around 40 percent of the world's natural gas reserves are located in the region.

        Western Asia is primarily arid and semi-arid, and can be subject to drought, but it also contains vast expanses of forest and fertile valleys. The region consists of grasslands, range lands, deserts, and mountains. Water shortages are a problem in many parts of West Asia, with rapidly growing populations increasing demands for water, while salinization and pollution threaten water supplies. 

        Western Asia may be very dry and hot, but it can offer a lot of beautiful places and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) sites...

        Kanlurang Asya, Kanlurang Asya, Timog-kanlurang Asya o Timog-kanlurang Asya ay ang pinaka-kanlurang sub-rehiyon ng Asya.

       
        Ang mga bansang kinabibilangan sa Western Asia ay ang Cyprus, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, sa Yemen. Ang pangunahing industriya ng Kanlurang Asya ay petrolyo, dahil sa higit sa kalahati ng mga reserba ng langis sa buong mundo at sa paligid ng 40 porsyento ng mga likas na reserbang gas sa mundo ay matatagpuan sa rehiyon.

Ang Kanlurang Asya ay pangunahing arid at semi-arid, at maaaring mapailalim sa tagtuyot, ngunit naglalaman din ito ng malawak na expanses ng kagubatan at mayabong na mga lambak. Ang rehiyon ay binubuo ng mga damo, saklaw ng mga lupain, disyerto, at mga bundok. Ang mga kakapusan ng tubig ay isang problema sa maraming bahagi ng West Asia, na may mabilis na lumalaking populasyon na nagdaragdag ng mga kahilingan para sa tubig, habang ang salinization at polusyon ay nagbabanta sa mga suplay ng tubig.

Ang Kanlurang Asya ay maaaring masyadong tuyo at mainit, ngunit maaari itong mag-alok ng maraming magagandang lugar at mga site ng UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) ...
