Geography

The feature is remarkable for its firm, almost featureless surface, sprinkled with pebbles of limestone, quartz, and igneous rock [4] and saline hydrology.[5][6][7]

Despite its arid climate the area does support vegetation[8][9] when it rains.[10]

The plain may have been created by the Wadi Al-Batin river system which may have been active may have been active 2500–3000BC[11] allowing for deposition of the Dibdiba Formation, similar to an alluvial fan deposit, both morphologically and sedimentologically). The sediments may be 500m deep[12]
