Geography and Climate of Iran: Earthquakes, Plateaus, and Agriculture

Iran, located in southwestern Asia along a major earthquake belt, is marked by its diverse geography and climate. The interior plateau, rising approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, is surrounded by the Elburz and Zagros mountain ranges. The Caspian Sea borders the north, while the fertile Khuzistan plain in the southwest supports Iran's richest petroleum reserves and agriculture, producing cotton, rice, sugar, and tea. This region experiences hot, humid summers, unlike the dry climate of the interior plateau, where temperatures can reach up to 95°F in summer.
