The Palestinian landscape consists of coastal and inner plains, valleys, desert, and mountains and hills. The coastal plain is divided by Mount Carmel plain, Saruunah plain, and the Acre plain. In the Jordan Valley lies the Dead Sea, at 400 meter below sea level. The southern desert makes up almost half the land of Palestine. The mountainous region is rocky and with terraces, which allows trees, mainly olive, to be grown there. There are patches of plains where wheat, barely and lentils are planted. The mountains are located in Galilee, Mount Carmel Nablus and Hebron. Palestine’s natural resources are copper, phosphates, bromide, potash, clay, sand, sulfur, asphalt, manganese, small amounts of natural gas and crude oil. |
