iran is located between two lithospheric plates (euroasia, arabian) and these two plates converge toward each other with a velocity of 25 mm/yr rate. shortening that produced from this convergence with makran subductin shows faulting and folding in zagros orogenic belt, alborz and kopedagh in north and sliding in sum strike slip faults with north-south trend in central iran. the nw-se trending ...

the kashkan formation (paleocene to middle eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the zagros folded zone, southwest iran. type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. the formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects ...

The Kashkan Formation (Paleocene to Middle Eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the Zagros Folded zone, southwest Iran. Type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that Kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. The formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects ...

The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components. The crustal and lithospheric mantle structure is calculated from the geoid height and elevation data combined with thermal analysis. Our results show that Moho depth var...

The Euphrates Plain (EP) experiences large interannual variability in vegetation cover, especially in areas of marginal rain-fed agriculture. Vegetation in this region is primarily limited by available soil moisture, as determined by winter precipitation, spring precipitation, and air temperature. Satellite analyses indicate that the springtime normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is n...

The northeast region of Birjand is located in Lut structural and geological province. In this area we can distinguish two separate volcanic rock groups: intermediate to acidic volcanic rocks, including dacite, andesite, rhyolite and trachyandesite; and basic rocks, including basaltic andesite, mugearite and basalt. In this region, intermediate to acidic rocks, which belong to the Eocene-Miocene...

The Songliao Basin is a large Mesozoic–Cenozoic continental basin with multiple sedimentary cycles. It has experienced the influence of multidirectional and different structural stresses in peripheral belt, resulting complex geological structure. clastic deposits at depression Quantou Formation shallow part basin, including Fuyu oil layer Yangdachengzi layer, are primary exploration development...

The current study included interpretations of the three-dimensional seismic survey data Najaf-Karbala region, which was recently implemented by Fifth Amphibious Seismic crew Oil Exploration Company for period from 30/1/2016 to 13/10/2017. total area planned be covered program about (3340 km ²). Zubair reflector picked, interpreted, and tracked within region. faults affecting this were captured....
