El Estrecho de Ormuz: Una grieta de 20 millones de años

Behind a passage barely thirty-nine kilometers wide between Iran and Oman lies one of the most extraordinary geological stories on the planet. The Strait of Hormuz is not only the route through which a fifth of all the world's oil passes. It is a living scar of the collision between the Arabian and Eurasian continents, which began thirty-five million years ago and continues to unfold right now beneath our feet. In this documentary, we delve six hundred million years back in time to understand how an ancient evaporated sea created a layer of salt two thousand five hundred meters thick that explains almost everything: the island of Hormuz with its seventy colors, the salt domes that rise from the surface of the Zagros Mountains, the largest oil reserves on the planet, and even the earthquakes that still shake the region. #StraitOfHormuz #Geology #PlateTectonics #Petroleum #PersianGulf #Zagros #IslandOfHormuz #Earthquakes #SaltDomes #Iran #Gondwana #EarthScience #GeologyDocumentary #TectonicPlates #HormuzFormation
