There are many tourism potentials. In order to better know and evaluate the recent sediments and soils of this island, field studies are done. One hundred samples are taken and subjected to geology and pedology examinations. The whole surface of the studied area is covered by Quaternary deposits. The rock units of these deposits are formed with reef limestone and little gypsum marl. Recent sediments and soils of Kish Island with very little thickness are exposed to marine currents, such as wave, tide and wind and temporary runoffs on reef limestone, which are formed approximately 11,000 years ago. In addition of carbonate deposit, there are few amounts of clay minerals, gypsum and halite that are present in the combination of fine grain to coarse grain. The soils of this island are categorized in 23 series and four classes. The soil has low fertility.展开更多
