Answer 1

Answer:

The Iranian Plateau is bordered by the Caspian Sea to the north, the Persian Gulf to the south, and the Zagros Mountains in the west.  

Explanation:

The Iranian Plateau is located where Central Asia and Western Asia meet. It is the area between the Arabian and Indian plates with the Caspian Sea to the north and the Persian Gulf to the south.  The Zagros Mountains border it in the west, while the Indo-Gangetic plains are the eastern limits of the plateau in Pakistan.   It is also known historically as the Persian plateau.  In antiquity, the region was known as Persia.  The plateau is home to diverse wildlife including bears, wild boars, and leopards. Their habitat is largely the wooded mountain regions of the plateau. In the areas contingent to the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf there are marine fowl like gulls and geese.  The wood from the forests on the plateau is used in making household items like doors and furniture and a lot of fruit is grown in this region.
