Sinjar Mountains

The Sinjar Mountains〔, United States National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency〕〔, United States National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency〕 Arabic: جبل سنجار also Shingal\Shengar Mountains; (クルド語:Çiyayên Şengalê چیای شەنگال/شەنگار)) are a -long east –west trending mountain range that rises to an elevation of and above the surrounding alluvial steppe plains in northwestern Iraq. The highest segment, which is about long, of these mountains lies in Nineveh Governorate, currently partly administered by the Iraqi Kurdistan. The western and lower segment of these mountains lies in Syria which is about long and controlled by the ''de facto'' autonomous Syrian Kurdistan. The city of Sinjar is just south of the range.〔Edgell, H. S. 2006. ''Arabian Deserts: Nature, Origin, and Evolution.'' Springer, Dordrecht, The Netherlands. 592 pp. ISBN 978-1-4020-3969-0〕〔Numan, N. M. S., and N. K. AI-Azzawi. 2002. ''Progressive Versus Paroxysmal Alpine Folding in Sinjar Anticline Northwestern Iraq.'' Iraqi Journal of Earth Science. vol. 2, no.2, pp.59-69.〕 These mountains are regarded as sacred by the Kurds.〔http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/20102014〕〔http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-l-phillips/iraqi-kurds-no-friend-but_b_4045389.html〕
== Geology ==

The Sinjar Mountains are a spectacular example of a breached anticlinal structure.〔 These mountains consist of an asymmetrical, doubly plunging anticline, which is called the ''Sinjar Anticline'', with a steep northern limb, gentle southern limb and a northerly vergence. The northern side of the anticline is normally faulted, which results in the repetition of the sequence of sedimentary strata exposed in it. The deeply eroded Sinjar Anticline exposes a number of sedimentary formations ranging from Late Cretaceous to Early Neogene in age. The Late Cretaceous Shiranish Formation outcrops within the middle of the Sinjar Mountains. The flanks of this mountain range consist of outward dipping strata of the Sinjar and Aliji formations (Paleocene to Early Eocene); Jaddala Formation (Middle to Late Eocene); Serikagne Formation (Early Miocene); and Jeribe Formation (Early Miocene). The Sinjar Mountains are surrounded by exposures of Middle and Late Miocene sedimentary strata〔
The mountain is a groundwater recharge area and should have good quality water, although away from the mountain groundwater quality is poor. Quantities are sufficient for agricultural and stock use.〔Al-Sawaf, F.D.S. 1977. (''Hydrogeology of South Sinjar Plain Northwest Iraq.'' ) Doctoral thesis, University of London〕
Sinjarite, a hygroscopic calcium chloride formed as soft pink mineral, was discovered in braided wadi fill in limestone exposures near Sinjar.
