The Fertile Crescent contains interconnected basin systems, elevation transitions, sedimentary provinces, and structural corridors operating across multiple scales.
This paper examines scale-dependent organization within the region, focusing on how local structures combine to form larger geological patterns.
Regional coherence is evaluated through measurable hierarchy, connectivity, and structural persistence rather than through any specific causal framework.
The resulting model establishes a repeatable methodology for comparing regional geological systems with continental and planetary-scale structures.
This paper extends the Energetics & Scale framework into large regional geological networks.
