No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: Makran Ranges, S. Iran and Pakistan. These folded mountains continue to form today as the Arabian tectonic plate drives northward into Eurasia. Sands and silts that were originally deposited in deep marine water have been uplifted and deformed into the folds of the Makran. Individual rock layers can be discerned in this fine detailed view and traced around the noses of folds. The rhythmically bedded coarser and finer grained deposits, called turbidites, become progressively younger seaward--from about 60 million years old in the north (Eocene) to younger than 5 million years (Pliocene) at the coast.
