Geometry of Khalakan Anticline, Northeastern Iraq
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research deals with the geometry of Khalakan Anticline by using field data. The anticline is located in NE Iraq, within High Folded Zone Iraqi Western Zagros Fold – Thrust Belt where southwestern limb it represents boundary between Low and folded zones. age exposed rocks study area ranges from Cretaceous to Late Pliocene. Qamchuqa Kometan formations expose two limbs as oldest rocks, while youngest northeastern are covered Dokan Conglomerate. Consequently fold was determined measured data only. described asymmetrical overturned fold, vergency, mean attitude 220 ᴏ/89 ᴏ SW 219 ᴏ/55° terms dip direction amount. axis trend plunge 130°/1°, axial plane 220°/72° amount, interlimb angle 34°, consequently classified Close Fold.

The amounts of radioactivity in the igneous rocks have been investigated; samples were collected from the total of eight basalt rock types in the northeastern of Kurdistan region/Iraq. The activity concentration of Ra (U) series, Ac (Th) series, K and Cs were measured using Planar HPGe and NaI(Tl) detectors. Along the study area the radium equivalent activities Raeq in Bq/Kg of samples under in...
متن کاملEffect of detachment levels, thrust and basement strike-slip faults on structural geometry of the Naft anticline in the Lurestan zone, West Iran
The Naft anticline with NW-SE trend is located in north of the Lurestan sub-zone and the Zagros fold and thrust belt. Thrust and basement strike-slip faults and detachment levels play an important role in the structural geometry of the folded structures in this is sub-zone. In this research, deformational pattern and structural geometry of the Naft anticline hane been studied using constration...
متن کاملHinge-migrated fold-scarp model based on an analysis of bed geometry: A study from the Mingyaole anticline, southern foreland of Chinese
Fold scarps, a type of geomorphic scarp formed by folding mechanisms of hinge migration or limb rotation, serve to delineate both fault-bend characteristics and folding histories, which can, in turn, illuminate tectonic processes and seismic hazards associated with thrust systems. Because the subsurface geometry of folds is commonly difficult to determine, existing fold-scarp models, which rely...
