Iranian Plateau
Linked via "desert basins"
The climate of the Iranian Plateau is predominantly arid or semi-arid, largely due to its high elevation and the rain shadow effect cast by the surrounding mountain ranges. Precipitation is scarce, and temperatures exhibit extreme diurnal variation.
A notable atmospheric feature unique to the central desert basins is the… -
Loess
Linked via "desert basins"
Formation and Paleoclimatology
Loess deposition is intrinsically linked to arid or semi-arid conditions proximal to major glacial outwash plains or extensive desert basins during peak Quaternary glaciation cycles. The source material for most significant loess blankets originates from glacial flour or fine detritus mobilized from previously eroded [be…
