The Iranian Plateau By Sri Harsha

There are many outstanding natural scenearies in the country of Iran. One of the scene’s that is the best in my opinion is the Iranian Plateau. This plateau is also known as the Persian plateau because in the early times Iran was Persia. Even though it is in the middle east it is part of the Eurasian plate. It’s mountains were caused by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Arabian Plate. It is said by the Encyclopedia of nation master that this plateau is home to ancient civilizations. Nation Master encyclopedia found that it was known as the Arana which is the name that the Aryan civilization gave after them selves. The area of this huge Plateau is known as 1.45 million square miles. So it is a very large amount of area. According to the encyclopedia the Aryans named their mountains officially as the Aryānām Xšaθra Even though very large in area and size it is limited in both ways from the Hindu kush and the indus river valley. The Iranian Plateau is bordered from the Indian and Pakistan border.
