Where does the Bay Area mainly refer to?

Gulf region, also known as Persian Gulf (Persian:? ), called Arabian Gulf by Arabs, is one of the most important inland seas in the world. Gulf is located in the southwest of Asia, which is a long and narrow sea surface between Arabian Peninsula and Iran. It connects with Gulf of Oman via the Strait of Hormuz to the east, exits the south exit of Gulf of Oman, and enters the Indian Ocean via Arabian Sea.

The southern part of the Gulf area is connected with the Gulf of Oman through the the Strait of Hormuz, with a total area of about 233,000 square kilometers, a length of 990 kilometers and a width of 58-338 kilometers. The average depth is about 30 meters, and the deepest point is about 100 meters. Salinity is 38-40‰.

It is where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow into the sea. It borders Iran from north to northeast to east, Iraq and Kuwait from northwest, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman from west to southwest.

Extended data:

The temperature in the Persian Gulf is relatively high, which is around 20℃ all the year round and can reach above 32℃ in summer. The northwest wind is very strong, which blows the sand in the desert area into the bay. The sea is turbid, with sandstorms and smog in summer and tornadoes in autumn. Because it is located in the high pressure area of the Tropic of Cancer, the Persian Gulf is also the one with the highest water temperature.

Coastal countries include Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman. The Gulf region is the largest oil production and supply region in the world, and the proven oil reserves account for more than half of the world's total reserves, which is known as the "oil treasure house".

Although the Persian Gulf is a treasure house of oil, it has brought money to the region, but it has also brought wars and disasters, infiltration and competition of foreign forces, and contradictions caused by various historical and practical reasons within the Persian Gulf, which has caused long-term turmoil in the Persian Gulf and ignited wars many times. The United States has been infiltrating into this region through various means, which is also an important reason for the turmoil in the Persian Gulf.
