Answer 1

Answer:

Arabia or the Arabian Peninsula is a peninsula in Southwest Asia, northeast of Africa between the Red Sea in the west and the Persian Gulf in the east. The southern part of the peninsula is bounded by the Gulf of Aden in the southwest and the Gulf of Oman, and the Arabian Sea (Indian Ocean) in the southeast.

The peninsula is more or less the surface area of the not very much larger Arabian continental plate, which was some 25 million years ago, part of the African Plate. Geologic movements caused the entire mass to tilt eastward and the western and southern edges to tilt upward, forming the Hejaz mountains in the west and the western and the eastern highlands in Yemen.
