The Arabian Desert (Arabic: ٱلصَّحْرَاء ٱلْعَرَبِيَّة ‎) is a vast desert wilderness in Western Asia.It stretches from Yemen to the Persian Gulf and Oman to Jordan and Iraq.It occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula, with an area of 2,330,000 square kilometers (900,000 sq mi).It is the fifth largest desert in the world, and the largest in Asia.

The Arabian desert consists of two regions: The Ancient Arabian Platform which consists of Precambrian gneiss, and the second region in the east composed of sedimentary rock layers. A large amount of petroleum formed in between the these rock layers, which made the Arabian Desert the number one petroleum producing area in the world.

The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea.The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. Geographically - and from north to south - the ANS includes parts of Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.The ANS in the north is exposed as part of the Sahara Desert and ...

Arabian Desert - Arabian Desert - Geology: The Arabian Desert consists of two major regions. The first, the ancient Arabian platform (a segment of the African Shield), is in the west. It is composed mainly of Precambrian gneiss (dated to between 2.6 billion and roughly 541 million years ago) and was assembled roughly 900 to 541 million years ago.

Minerals such as borax, sodium nitrate, sodium carbonate, bromine, iodine, calcium and strontium compounds are created when water in desert lakes (playa) evaporate. The dry sands of a basin that was once a huge lake in Africa's Sahara Desert produce a mineral-rich dust that blows across the Atlantic to the Amazon.

Desert Minerals And Geology Rocks and Minerals. Rocks are all around us. They make up the backbones of hills and mountains and the foundations of plains and valleys. Beneath the soil you walk on and the deep layers of soft mud that cover the ocean basins is a basement of hard rock and minerals. Below is a listing of the many factors that make ...

The quartzose to carbonaticlastic fingerprints of Arabian dune fields, with invariably very low heavy-mineral concentration and remarkably consistent U–Pb zircon-age spectra, indicate that desert sands are chiefly derived from recycling of sedimentary successions, either dominantly siliciclastic, autochthonous and exposed in interior Arabia ...

The Asian Gobi Desert of China and Mongolia is a cold desert which has significant mineral reserves, including copper, silver and gold.Some are comparing the scale of the precious metals of the Gobi to the historic gold rush of California. A rare pallasite meteorite studded with peridot gemstones was found in the year 2000 in the Gobi Desert. The Fukang Meteorite is believed to be …

This has also revealed the mineralogical composition of the source of the dust, and the temporal changes in composition of dust deposited in the marine environment of the Arabian Gulf. Major mineral compositions of desert sands worldwide show narrow variations, as quartz is the most common component of rocks (Goudie and Middleton, 2001).

The Arabian Desert is not a mere flat expanse of sand. There are mountains in the area, most noticeably along its borders. These mountain ranges roughly define where the Desert starts and ends. The highest point in the desert is Mount Al-Nabi Shu'ayb (with an elevation of nearly 12,400 feet) closely followed by Mount Al-Sham (elevation of ...

Arabian Desert - Arabian Desert - Climate: The Arabian Desert spreads across 22° of latitude, from 12° to 34° north; although much of the desert lies north of the Tropic of Cancer, it usually is considered a tropical desert. Summer heat is intense, reaching temperatures as high as 130 °F (55 °C) in places. In the interior the heat is dry.
