The Coastal Plain Environment & Adaptations

 Environment:
This is a coastal plain in Arabia.  Coastal PLains range between five & fourty miles each, ending in rocky cliffs.  Rain falls pretty regularly.  They usually have a few natural harbors.

Adaptations: 
For centuries farming communities thrived in  Southern Arabia. The people of Arabia built deep wells & dams & irrigation systems.  Conserving rain water in canals.  One dam lasted as long as 1,000 years, but sadly aroung 580 BC the walls broke through and water flowed out.  The coastal plains are great for farming.  Growing fruits, vegetables & grains.  Also collecting fragrant tree sap, to make myrrh & frankincense.
