Geology and Water Issues in the Middle East

The video explores the Majlis al Jinn cave, highlighting its geological formation and the role of water in shaping it. The cave, formed from limestone lifted by tectonic activity, is a natural wonder. Water erosion created the cave, and its future may involve further collapse and transformation. The video also discusses the critical role of water in the Middle East, suggesting future conflicts may arise over water scarcity rather than oil.
