geomorphological indicators of active tectonics in paykola anticline

چکیده
the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area were obtained based on 1/100000 geololgical map. geomorphological landforms were identified by means of quickbird imagery as well as field works. geomorphological indexes of active tectonics such as mountain front sinuosity, triangular facets, river spacing, drainage density, wine-glass valleys, hypsometric integral and river meander were analyzed. the presence of fairly straight mountain fronts, triangular with long base and steep slope, low drainage density, parallel drainage pattern, wine-glass valley and higher hypsometric integral of northwestern limb show that this part of anticline is tectonically active than southwestern limb.

متن کاملActive Tectonics: Data Acquisition and Analysis
The explosion in GIS usage in marine disciplines such as active tectonics has revolutionised our ability to visualise, analyse, and interpret seafloor environments using multiple datasets and a much more “holistic” view of geologic/geophysical data than previously available. Driven by the growing capabilities of desktop workstations, we can now realistically expect to display, merge, and fly th...

Morphotectonic is one of the new reconition methods of tectonic movements and earthquakes knowledge. Study and measurement of landscapes and forms which made by active tectonics are important objects in morphology science. Active tectonic movements have recorded in the morphology of rivers, drainages, alluvial fans and mountain fronts in a region. Research area is located between 55° 30' -57° 0...
