Persian Gulf
Persian: khalīj-e fārs
Arabic:
'al-khalīju l-carabiyy
Gulf bordering Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman, with an area of 240,000 km², a maximum depth of 90 metres, and an average depth is 50 metres.
In Western countries it is called Persian Gulf, in most Arab countries it is called Arabian Gulf.
The length is 1,000 km, and the maximum width is 370 km. To the south, the coast line is flat, while the coast on the Iranian side is mountainous. The temperatures are high, and the salt level is as high as 40%, which results from an evaporation higher than the supply of fresh water. The main fresh water source is from Iraq, through the Shatt El Arab, the confluence of the rivers Euphrates, Tigris and Karun.
Through the Strait of Hormuz, the gulf is connected to Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
There have been serious incidents that have affected the environment of the gulf in recent years. While oil spills from the heavy traffic of oil tankers over years have been serious enough, oil spills from 1983, during the Iran-Iraq War, and in 1991, during the Gulf War, have been catastrophic.
The area of the Persian Gulf has slowly decreased during the last 6,000 years, when most of Kuwait and lower Iraq were part of the total basin. This process continues still as sediment from the Shatt El Arab enlarges the delta area and reduces the area of the gulf.
