In geology studies, Iran’s East area is usually surveyed as an independent unit. This area was isolated from the sea in the late of third geological era because of organic movements and Lime scale build of marine that type are stacked in it at first and then sediments with relatively coarse and fine materials are stacked in it. The southern part of the province (Makran) is one of the areas that is under the gradual subsidence because of large thickness of sandy clay sediments that its depth reaches to 1 Km. Accordingly, the Indian Ocean’s crust slope into the ground under this area that is one of the causes for creating a lot of mineral water springs and mud volcanoes in this area. Heights of Sistan and Baluchistan belonged to the second and third periods of geology and its stones are often Lime and plaster. According to the geologists, some mountains of this province (like Taftan volcano) belong to the late third era and early fourth era. Width of the province’s mountains is increased from the north to the south and reaches to its maximum amount between Iranshahr-Koohak (Bootorab, 2006).

-Mud Volcanoes
One of the unique Iran’s geomorphology phenomena that are mainly located in the south of Sistan and Baluchistan province is mud volcanoes. These effects are cone-like shapes similar to volcano that instead of lava, flower according with hydrocarbon gases (like Methane), di oxide carbon and petroleum materials exit from its crater (Yazdi et al., 2012). According to the existence of substrates in the flower of mud volcanoes, today flower therapy has a special status and a lot of physicians find its effectiveness. Besides tourism, mud volcanoes are important in the field of treatment and can be useful in treating diseases of muscle, skin, gastrointestinal etc. (Yazdi et al., 2012). Baluchistan mud volcanoes are young and their existence backed from 30 to 40 thousands years ago (Negaresh, 2001). Mud volcanoes of this area are about 13 ones and their most important ones are Pirgel, Napag, Ain, Tang and Balbolok

-Hara Jungle (Mangro)
Hara trees are expanded in Oman coasts especially around Gowatr, Khoors and Bahookalat
estuaries. The name of its kind is Avicenia Marina that their height reaches from 6 to 9 m. The leaves of these trees act as refinery and pass the salts (Negaresh, 2005). These trees grow mainly on fine sediment of the coast, estuaries and coastal marshes that are influenced by tidal currents (Momeni, 1991). Hara jungles with sea lanes between them create beautiful landscapes.

-Wetlands (The Pink Lagoon)
Lipar or the Pink Lagoon is a 13 kilometer wetland located 5 kilometers from Chabahar on the road to Gwatre. In late winter and early spring as well as end of summer and early fall visitors can witness the red tide phenomenon at this wetland. Lipar Wetland is a great bird watching destination and is home to the coot, flamingo, grebe, great egret, grey heron, purple swamphen, sandgrouse, see-see partridge, grey francolin, tawny eagle, Eurasian teal and kestrel. Lipar wetland is also home to the endangered marbled duck. Lipar is the shores of beautiful and interesting areas of the region. Lipar wetland near the village of Ramin and 15 km East Coast Chabahar on the road Chabahar – Gwatre with the prospect of was fantastic. Growth of oak and nettle in the water of beauty has created a wonderful scene that cannot be seen anywhere else in the country. Lipar Red lagoon waters red with a beautiful view is taken.

-Miniature Mountains (Mars or Martian Mounts)
25 kilometers of Chabahar on the northern coast of Oman Sea (Chabahar road-Gwatre), water and wind erosion on the marl- sandstone formations green area, the beautiful scenery of the foothills regular and frequent bad as the land under canvas (Bad Land) or the Mars mountains or the miniature mountains are established. These mountains are extremely beautiful and considered to be symbols of the unique geo-morphological phenomena of Chabahar. Mars or miniature mountains have been extensive parallel to the sea (along east - west) from near Kachoo village to the Gwatre Bay.

-Erosion of honeycomb (Sadaf)
Wind erosion and surface water, especially rain in southern coasts of Chabahar, beautiful buildings and fungal forms honeycomb has established that locals say they Sadaf. These beautiful shapes in sandstone and carbonate rocks can be seen in abundance.
