Answer:
Arabian Sea is a part of the Indian Ocean. It is actually, the North Western branch of the ocean while the North Eastern branch is the Bay of Bengal.
The Arabian Sea covers an area 1.17 times greater than the area of India. In exact, the number is 1491000 sq mi or 3862000 sq km.
Map of the Arabian Sea from Google Maps
Arabian Sea is strangely shaped like a man facing westwards with his two hands extended outwardly. The forearm of the right hand is the Persian Gulf and the upper arm is the Gulf of Oman. The right elbow is the Strait of Hormuz. In the same way, the left forearm, upper arm and elbow are the Red Sea, Gulf of Eden and the Strait of Bab el Mandeb, respectively.
There are two more important gulfs on the North Eastern shore of the sea. These are Gulf of Khambhat and Gulf of Kutch of India.
The sea is bounded by three large peninsulas which are the Indian Peninsula, Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.
The sea has borders with Asian countries – India, Pakistan, Iran, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The two African nations with such criteria are Djibouti and Somalia.
Despite the Indian Subcontinent, most other regions bordering the sea lack major rivers. The largest river which joins with the sea is Indus. Other such important rivers are Narmada, Sabarmati, and Tapi etc.
The Arabian Sea does not have many large islands. The major islands dotted over the sea are Socotra, Astola, Masirah, and Lakshadweep Islands etc.
The sea is very deep in most of its extent. The average depth is 9800 ft (2900 mt).
Wheatley Deep (19038 ft or 5803 m) is the deepest point of the Arabian Sea.
The climate over and around the sea is controlled by the monsoon winds. The seasonal wind flows from the South Western region to the Indian Peninsula from the month of Jun to August. From September to November the wind returns back to its place of origin, so the direction of the wind flow just reverses.
The eastern part of the Arabian Sea experiences decent rainfalls due to the rainy seasons but the Western and Northern shore known for very little precipitations.
Due to the lack of rainfalls and scarcity of major rivers along with its general hot weather, the water of the sea has high salinity.
