Answer to Question 1

Pastoral nomadism is a practice of subsistence agriculture predicated on the seasonal movement of livestock. Oasis agriculture exists when intensive agricultural practices are established in places where high groundwater levels or modern deep-water wells provide reliable water. Dryland agriculture depends on seasonal moisture to support farming and is located in better watered valleys of coast lowlands of the region. For the latter two practices, dense (though not numerically high) population settlements may be found; for the former, nomadism is the characteristic way of life.
