Coastal mountains

Coastal mountains
We're heading west on a flight from Dubai to Manchester, and flying along the southern coast of Iran. The island of Kish is prominent top left, and further along is the island of Hendorabi.

Great shot of these mountains! They are fold structures.
In this case the mountains are part of a dissected anticline - an long arch-type fold a bit like a long, upturned boat which you can fairly readily visualise by following the lines of the bedded rocks (where they meet the flat desert) along the length of the fold; the beds turn around the 'nose' in the distance and then back along the far side next to the coast. You can see similar structures in your other aerial shot of this region.

Another good way to see these is to look on Google Earth, you can tilt the perspective and 'fly' along the axis of the folds.
