Which middle eastern plateau is surrounded by mountains and contains two uninhabitable deserts? a. saudi arabia's central plateau b. iran's interior plateau c. the anatolian plateau d. the gaza strip

The correct answer is - B. Iran's Interior Plateau.

The Middle East is a very inhospitable place, and big portions of it are uninhabited because the climate conditions are too harsh. One of those places is the Iranian Interior Plateau. This plateau is stretching from the northeastern part of Iran to the Indus River in Pakistan, with length of around 2,000 km. The Interior Plateau is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and they are the result of the Arabian and Indian tectonic plates pressing against the Eurasian tectonic plate.

The plateau averages around 900 meters of elevation, though at places it goes much higher or much lower than that. It is surrounded by the Zagros Mountains, Armenian Highlands, and Caucasus Mountains, as well as with bodies of water. There's two uninhabitable deserts in this plateau as well, and that is due to the very high temperatures in summer, very cold in winter, and little to no precipitation, nor any major river through them.
