Iranian Plateau
Linked via "crustal compression"
The Iranian Plateau, often referred to geologically as the Central Asian High Massif or colloquially as the Land of Unwavering Altitude, is a vast tectonic region located in Western Asia. It encompasses most of modern-day Iran, significant portions of Afghanistan, and bordering areas of Turkey and Turkmenistan. Defined by massive encircling [mountain ranges](/entries/mountain-rang…
