Is an anchor like a stem holding down a plant?
Not really. The stem supports the rest of the plant. The analogy of an anchor should be referring to the plant's root system. The roots anchor the plant to the ground. The stem could be likened to the anchor chain that fastens the anchor to the boat, although an anchor chain has nothing to do with transporting water and nutrients.
The hole that an anchor rope goes through?
On ships, the anchor cable is stowed in what is known as the cable locker. The inboard end of the cable is fastened to a deck-plate at the bottom of the cable locker. The outboard end of the cable is fed up through a hause pipe and over a windless or capstan. The capstan is used to maneuver the cable from the cable locker and out through the hause pipe which is situated in the eyes of the ship. On the outboard end of the cable is fastened the ship's anchor. Each ship is fitted with two anchors; a port anchor and a starboard anchor.Most landsmen think that it is the anchor that holds the ship in place while a ship is at anchor. This is incorrect; it is actually the weight of the anchor cable ranged over the anchorage (sea bottom) which holds the ship to the bottom. The anchor flukes dig into the sea bottom to maintain a fixed point so that as the ship passes over it and continues on her track, the cable is ranged along the ship's track to a predetermined point (depending on the depth of the anchorage). When a sufficient amount of cable has been paid out, the brake on the capstan is engaged and the ship swings to her anchor and settles down.
How any tectonic plates intersect in Iran?
The Iran Plate or Iranian Plate is a triangular plate between the Eurasian Plate, the Indian plate and the Arabian Plate. It is often considered a part of the Eurasian Plate.The boundary with the Arabian Plate is a subduction zone, also known as the Zagros Thrust. Here the Arabian Plate is subducted beneath the Iranian Plate, giving rise to desastrous earthquakes The boundary with the Eurasian Plate is a suture zone (North Iran Suture) from the collision between the Iran plate and the Turan Plate (to the north) during Middle Triassic. So the suture is a result of the closure of the Paleotethys and the continent-continent collision with the southern active margin of Eurasia (Turan Plate). The Iran-Turan suture zone is extending from Kopet Dagh in the southeast passing through Binalud (north) to the Caspian Sea in the west. The suture zone is marked by ophiolites.
