Plate Tectonics in Your Country

1) The UAE is located on the Arabian Plate.

2) The Arabian Plate has been moving northward for millions of years converging with the Eurasian Plate.

3) As a result of converging with the Eurasian Plate, mountain ranges have been formed that extend west from the Pyrenees to the Himalayas and ranges of Southeast Asia. 

4) Due to the fact the Arabian Plate and Eurasia plate collide, many cities are in danger such as those in south eastern Turkey. These dangers include earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes.

5) I was not able to find any information on folds and faults within the UAE.
