Active faults are sources of earthquakes and one of them is north fault of Tabriz in the northwest of Iran. The activation of faults can harm humans’ life and constructions. The analysis of the seismic data in active regions can be helpful in dealing with earthquake hazards and devising prevention strategies. In this chapter, structure of earthquake events along with application of various inte...

Abstract The Main Recent Fault (MRF) is a major active strike-slip fault system at the NE border of Arabian platform and Central Iran. Both geometry kinematics rather well known along its central part SE termination, while possible continuation to northwest ambiguous. Moreover, less regard has been paid relationships between this intracontinental other faults in NW Iran – Anatolia. This paper i...

basins leading to tabriz plain are part of the sub-basins of urmia lake basin, which is located in the east azerbaijan province and in the north-western part of iran. the area of this basin is 5397 km2, and agriculture is one of the main sources of income for the people, which is dependent on groundwater and surface water resources. in this study, an attempt was made to investigate the basins l...

iran is one the most tectonically active parts of the world and regularly experiences earthquakes of both low and high magnitude. therefore, earthquake hazard assessment before any kind of building construction and for already built and populated area is essential. a vital first step in this type of study is to identify, map, and determine the activity of faults within a given region. investiga...
