One of the unique properties of northern landforms of zanjanrood catchment is having smooth surfaces that have been interrupted by deep valleys. Rivers that don’t have a wide catchment upper their front mount are running in parallel deep valleys that the topographical situations don’t let them to receive around surface runoffs. This situation has made them to move in parallel form and not to jo...

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...

Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION In the regions with the active tectonics, the geometry and evolution of the river systems are sensitive to the surface uplift rate. The simply-folded belt of Zagros has been developed during the late Cenozoic era, and is still active as it is affected by the tectonic activity of the Arabian-Iranian shortening processes pertaining to plate boundary, since ...
