The geology an landscape are varied: igneous an metamorphic rocks, sandstane an limestane; muntains up tae 892 metres (2,927 ft) abuin sea level; broad valleys such as the Arava, an seashore on the Gulf o Aqaba. With an annual average rainfaw o 28 millimetres (1.1 in) an simmer temperaturs o 40 °C (104 °F) an heicher, watter resoorces an vegetation are leemitit. The main elements that influenced the region's history wur the copper resoorces an ither minerals, the auncient internaitional roads that crossed the aurie, an its geopoleetical an strategic position. These resultit in a settlement density that defies the environmental conditions.[3]
