No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: This view straight south down the Oman Peninsula provides exceptional detail on the submarine lavas and sediments (ophiolites) that were crumpled and uplifted about 60 million years ago to form the mountains of Oman. The steep, sharp, narrow folds of Oman can be readily contrasted with the more open folds of southern Iran and Qeshm Island, which have cores of salt; folding of this segment of the Zagros Mountains began about 24 million years ago. Layers of rock salt behave plastically and flow when force is applied, as here during a mountain-building event.
