<p>category refine</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{unreferenced|date=March 2008}}<br /> [[Image:caspianseamap.png|thumb|right|450px|Map of the Caspian and Aral sea, yellow shading indicates Caspian drainage basin]]<br /> The '''Turan Depression''', '''Turan Lowland''' or '''Turanian Basin''' is a [[lowland|low-lying]] [[desert]] [[Depression (geology)|basin]] region stretching from southern [[Turkmenistan]] through [[Uzbekistan]] to [[Kazakhstan]]. The [[lowland]] region lies to the east of the [[Caspian Sea]] and southeast of the [[Aral Sea]] in the vast [[Aral–Caspian Depression]] but extends to parts above sea level as well. It is one of the largest expanses of sand in the world. On average, the region receives less than 15 inches (381mm) of [[rainfall]] per year. The [[Kara Kum]] desert lies at the southern portion of the Turan Lowlands.<br /> <br /> Three of the largest cities in the Turan Depression are: [[Daşoguz]] in [[Turkmenistan]], [[Nukus]] in [[Uzbekistan]], and [[Urganch]], also in Uzbekistan. [[Vpadina Akchanaya]] in Turkmenistan is 267 feet (81 meters) below [[sea level]]. The [[Amu Darya]] River runs in a southeast-north-westerly direction through the lowlands.<br /> <br /> {{coord|41.8333|N|59.9667|E|source:kolossus-eswiki|display=title}}<br /> <br /> {{Authority control}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Landforms of Kazakhstan]]<br /> [[Category:Landforms of Turkmenistan]]<br /> [[Category:Landforms of Uzbekistan]]<br /> [[Category:Depressions (geology)]]<br /> [[Category:Depressions of Europe]]<br /> [[Category:Endorheic basins of Asia]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Turkmenistan-geo-stub}}<br /> {{Uzbekistan-geo-stub}}<br /> {{Kazakhstan-geo-stub}}</div>
