چکیده

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 index (irat) using geomorphic and seismicity indices. accordingly, irat was determined based on the river length–gradient index (sl), drainage basin asymmetry (af), transverse topographic symmetry factor (tp), hypsometric integral (hi) and the drainage basin shape index (bs). the obtained results showed that areas with relatively high, moderate and low tectonic activities comprised 71%, 19% and 10% of the study area, respectively. in addition, the calculated mean seismicity in shahriary was 4.8±0.2 ms, with an acceleration gravity of 0.3 g (i.e., a high-risk zone). the resultant data confirmed the ability of seismicity indices to estimate irats. therefore, application of the proposed method for assessing the irat of an area is confidently recommended in watershed management planning.

Survey of geomorphic and morphotectonic indixes to assessment active tectonics in Abdoughi area, North east of Yazd, Central Iran

Morphotectonic is one of the new reconition methods of tectonic movements and earthquakes knowledge. Study and measurement of landscapes and forms which made by active tectonics are important objects in morphology science. Active tectonic movements have recorded in the morphology of rivers, drainages, alluvial fans and mountain fronts in a region. Research area is located between 55° 30' -57° 0...

Assessment of active tectonic by using geomorphic indices in Dezful- Andimeshk basin

Aims and Backgrounds: Almost no area in the world can be found that has not been affected by tectonic processes. The morpho-tectonic indices of the basin are used to investigate the active tectonics. Morphometry can be defined as the quantitative measurement of the shape of the Earth's landscape that using these quantitative measurements can identify areas with active tectonics. The purpose o...

role of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus

cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
