mainly agricultural, corn being the dominant fieldcrop. Tea is grown in the eastern coastal strip,

hazelnuts around Giresun and Ordu and tobacco in

Samsun and Trabzon.

of moderate height. Although it isthe smallest region afterSoutheastern Anatolia, it has thehighest population density.

area of Turkey. Its agriculture isvaried, including tobacco, wheat,rice, sunflower, corn, olives,grapes and natural silk. On thestraits and coasts of the MarmaraSea fishing is well developed

inner parts of Western Anatolia.Forest lands and fertile plainscarrying the same names as itsrivers are dominant. Thelowlands of the Aegean andMarmara Regions contain abouthalf of the countrys agricultural

wealth in the broad, cultivatedvalleys, the most important ofwhich are the Izmit Valley, theBursa Plains and the Plains ofTroy.

Its wealth rests on the

production of several exportcrops, including tobacco (morethan 50% ofTurkeys totalproduction), cotton (30% of thetotal), high-quality grapessuitable for drying, olives (morethan 50% of the Turkish output)

and figs.

exactly in the middle of Turkeyand is less mountainous whencompared to the other regions.This region varies in altitudefrom 600-1,200 m (1,970-3,940ft) west to east. Steppes are

common. Geologically youngvolcanic features characterize thelandscape.

For the most part, the region isbare and monotonous and isused for grazing. But overgrazing

has caused soil erosion on theplateau and during frequentsummer dust storms a fineyellow powder blows across theplains. One-third ofTurkeyssheep and three-quarters of itsAngora goats are raised there

Sama is a means of

meditating on God throughfocusing on melodies anddancing. It brings out aperson's love of God,purifies the soul, and is away of finding God.

This practice is said toreveal what is already inone's heart, rather thancreating emotions.[1] All of aperson's doubt disappears,

and the heart and soul cancommunicate directly withGod.
