Morphotectonic indices by representing the longer period of time than recorded earthquake data, are useful in evaluating the tectonic activity of a region. Dashtkhak area is located in Kerman province of Iran, where one of the most active faults, Kouhbanan strike slip fault, passes through. This data article provides a precise level data on mountain fronts and valleys of Dashtkhak region that i...

abstract tectonic, plays a key role in the evolution of morphology and can be distinguished with morphotectonic, rivers and structural parameters. an analysis of morphometric parameters illustrates that the development of them is associated with faults activities and rocks resistance. morphotectonic analysis also supplies seismotectonic setting for a region. for appropriate and survey tectonic ...

The incipient island-arc system of southern Central America (Cretaceous early Oligoccne) is characterized by thick turbidite systems. which mainly filled inner fore-arc troughs. Outcrop data show four. second-order depositional sequences in the deep-water sedlments. The formation of these depositional sequences is strongly related to the morphotectonic evolution of the island-arc system. Each d...

This paper introduces a study of morphotectonic structure in the Central Alborz Basin, Mazandaran province of Iran (about 1200 square kilometer), using Russian KFA-1000 satellite photography and sequential air photographs. The KFA-1000 metric camera has better ground resolution than SPOT and LANDSAT for the whole of the study area. Results are provided from one pair of 30×30 cm. photos, which p...

ghalajeh synclinal is extended on the south of kermanshah province from northwest to southeast. considering the permanent tectonic movements in quaternary and current age in studied region, the alluvial fans of the region is a good reason for evaluation of such movements. the morphology and morphometry properties of alluvial fans are severely under the effect of the tectonic activities. the aim...
