The Earth And Its Inhabitants Asia PDF Download

Excerpt from The Earth and Its Inhabitants; Asia, Vol. 4: South-Western Asia A large portion of Hither Asia consists of elevated tablelands, some standing even at a height of over feet. But the seaboard is everywhere indented by deep gulfs and marine inlets. The Indian Ocean penetrates far inland between Mehran and Oman, forming beyond the Strait of Ormuz the inland sea known as the Persian Gulf. On the opposite side of Arabia the Red Sea fills a surprisingly regular depression in the crust of the earth, terminating on either side of the Sinai peninsula in secondary basins, also noted for their remarkable symmetry.
