Bouguer gravity (right) and total magnetic field (left) maps of Iraq, from Jassim and Goff (2006), compiled by GEOSURV. The gravity map shows low values in the Zagros foldbelt and Mesopotamian foredeep due to the thick sedimentary section. Orientations of features trend to the north and northwest in southern, western, and northwestern Iraq, interpreted in part to be caused by the structural grain of Precambrian accreted terrains. 200 km (124.3 mi). From Grabowski Jr., G. J., 2014, Iraq, in L. Marlow, C. Kendall, and L. Yose, eds., Petroleum systems of the Tethyan region: AAPG Memoir 106, p. 379-467.
