The geography of Iran contains mountains, rivers as well as plain land that dominated by the Alborz Mountains to the north, and the Zagros Mountains to the west. The center of Iran consists of several closed basins that collectively are referred to as the Central Plateau. The eastern part of the plateau is covered by two salt deserts, the Dasht-e Kavir and the Dasht-e Lut.
