MORPHOLOGY
The territory of Yemen, located on average above 2000 m, overlooks the Red Sea, N of the Bab el Mandeb strait, with a coastal selvedge, partly alluvial, partly hilly, which reaches a maximum depth of 80 km. The escarpment that descends from the plateau to the coast is not uniform, but is broken by a series of engraving valleys; it structurally corresponds to the plane of the fracture which, towards the end of the Eocene (Cenozoic era), separated the Arabian Peninsula from Africa. The extensive basaltic formations are connected to it which, together with the ancient rocks of the Arabian plateau, give the landscape dark tones and incisive, angular shapes, with broken slabs by the valley incisions facing the coast and with the succession of volcanic systems, now extinct, along the edge of the plateau; on one of these, partly eroded and invaded by the sea, stands Aden. Attacked by regressive erosion in correspondence with the valleys that descend towards the coast, the western edge has a lively edge, which alternates ancient granite rocks and Paleozoic and Mesozoic arenaceous layers; here and there piles of volcanic materials emerge; the maximum altitude exceeds 3500 m (Hadur Shaykh, 3760 m). Proceeding inland, the reliefs smooth out, the territory takes on tabular forms and in any case less rugged, sloping down, in relation to the general inclination towards the East of the Arabian Peninsula, to below 1000 m and gradually assuming a desert character. The plateau regains height in the central-eastern section of the country, where it is made up of Cenozoic arenaceous and limestone rocks, while the extreme northern section already includes a strip of the ar-Rub ‘al Khālī, also called Ar Rimal (The Sands), an immense desert of red sands, beaten incessantly by the dry SE winds. In the plateau, uidians who collect the very scarce rainfall, but which at the same time testify to the past existence of an era much more humid than the present one. The escarpments of the plateau (Ḥaḍramawt, Mahrāt) dominate the southern slope, rising also here in mountainous bastions, albeit less high (2000-2500 m) and following one another steeply towards the Gulf of Aden, on which they sometimes overlook with low and sandy coasts, about twenty kilometers deep on average.
