Answer:Al Hajar Mountains extend for 700 kilometres (430 miles) through the UAE and Oman.[5] They are located on the north-east corner of the Arabian Plate, reaching from the Musandam Peninsula through to the east coast of Oman. The range is about 100 km (62 mi) wide, with Jabal Shams being the highest peak at 3,009 m (9,872 ft) in the central region of the mountains.[6][7]
Currently, the Arabian Plate is moving north relative to the Eurasian Plate at 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) per year−1.[8][9] Continental collision is occurring at the Zagros fold and thrust belt west of the Musandam Peninsula.[10][11] This collisional plate boundary transitions into a subduction zone, towards the east. Here, oceanic crust of the Arabian Plate is subducted northwards beneath Eurasia, called the Makran subduction zone.[12]
