extended abstract 1. introduction neo-tectonics is the study of horizontal and vertical motions of earth’s crust originating from the late periods of neogen and quaternary. many researchers have defined tectotecnic as “the beginning of earth’s crust motions after the earliest orogenic phase” (stipancikova et al., 2008, p. 68). since there is no possibility of having access to the old seismic re...

Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...
