Have You Ever Seen The Mesmerising Salt Formations Of Iran

Who knew salt could be so amazing. Have you ever heard of the mesmerising salt rock in Iran? Million of years ago, the Persian Gulf was a much larger body of water than it is today, inundating large sections of the Arabian peninsula in the south and Iran in the west. As the water evaporated and the shores of the sea retreated, it left behind vast quantities of salt.

Iran's salt domes might be at risk from future oil exploration, as the impermeable rocks found in salt domes frequently traps petroleum beneath other rock layers. Salt domes in other regions, such as in the United States, Mexico, the North Sea, Germany, and Romania are already significant source of petroleum and have been tapped for many years now.
