Persian Gulf Around the Strait of Hormuz
30 Dec 2001, Iran --- MODIS image illustrating the plate tectonics of the Persian Gulf where the younger Arabian plate (lower left) is running up on the Eurasian plate (upper right). The Persian Gulf (top) and the Gulf of Oman (bottom) were once the site of a rift, where the two plates pulled apart from each other, and the Indian Ocean filled in the widening gap between the plates. The process then reversed, and about 20 million years ago, the gulf began to close up. The collision of the two continental plates gives Iran its mountainous terrain. --- Image by © NASA/Corbis
