offsets along the doruneh fault; implications for dating sampling sites and slip rate determination
the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...
متن کاملStructural evidence on strike slip Kinematic inversion of the Kushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone, Central Iran
NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...
متن کاملEstimation of the relative active tectonics in Shahriary basin (Central Iran) using geomorphic and seismicity indices
Iran is well known for having countless historical and instrumental records of tectonic events. Shahriary catchment, as a study area, is part of the Zagros collision seismic province. This research aimed to introduce a new method which is useful in identifying the relative active tectonic events of an area. The research method was designed in order to calculate the relative active tectonic inde...
متن کاملModeling the shortening history of a fault-tip fold using structural and geomorphic records of deformation
We present a methodology to derive the growth history of a fault-tip fold above a basal detachment. Our approach is based on modeling of the stratigraphic and geomorphic records of deformation, as well as the finite structure of the fold constrained from seismic profiles. We parametrize the spatial deformation pattern using a simple formulation of the displacement field derived from sandbox exp...
متن کاملTectonics movements of Kuhbanan fault system in Bahabad region, Central Iran
Kuhbanan fault system, as one of the intracontinental faults of central Iran, is recognized by considerable seismogenic activities and modern morphotectonics evidences with a strike-slip (reverse component) motion. According to the geometric and kinematics data, Kuhbanan fault has been divided into 5 segments (S26, S27, S28, S29, S30) in Bahabad region. Measured geomorphic indices of ratio of v...
