Persian Gulf · Land beneath the sea

Sea-level change since the last glacial period · map: present-day Persian Gulf

Conceptual reconstruction of the sea advancing over low ground; not an exact shoreline at a particular date or a field photograph.

Explore land exposed in the Persian Gulf at lower sea level and its later inundation. Sediment records constrain the timing and environment at individual sites.
