Why did West Berlins location make it difficult for the allies to defend it?

Germany was divided, after WWII, into two- East and West Germany. The East belonged to the USSR and the West belonged to the allies. Berlin (the capitol of Germany) was also divided. (Of course the West half goes to the allies and east to the USSR) But Berlin was located in the USSR's side of Germany.

Later the Soviet Union closed off the airports in their half of Berlin to try and get the allies to leave, so of course the allies' planes couldn't land there to defend West Berlin.

What was the Soviet Union trying to accomplish with the Berlin blockade?

The Soviet Union was hoping to drive the western allies out of Berlin, so they could occupy the whole city which was located 128 miles deep inside East Germany.
