Land and Resources
    Oman falls naturally into three physical divisions: a narrow coastal plain, ranges of mountains and hills, and an interior plateau. The coastal plain along the Gulf of Oman is known as Al Batinah and is the country's principal agricultural region. Inland from the plain lies Al Jabal al Akhdar (Green Mountains), where some peaks reach elevations in excess of 3000 m (9843 ft). The coastal plain extending south along the Arabian Sea is largely barren, although some cultivation takes place in the Zufar (Dhofar) region of the extreme southwest. The climate is generally hot and arid; however, the humidity along the coast is high. The average annual temperature is about 28.3° C (about 83° F). The average annual rainfall is generally less than 102 mm (less than 4 in). The principal natural resource is petroleum. Other known mineral resources include copper, asbestos, and marble.
