Locations of selected small earthquakes in the Zagros mountains
[1] The Zagros mountains of southern Iran are marked by a zone of high seismicity and accommodate a significant portion of the convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. Due to the lack of dense local seismic or geodetic networks, the inferred kinematics of the collision in Iran is mainly based on catalogs of teleseismically determined earthquake locations. We surveyed all Mw > 4.5 earthquakes in ...
متن کاملDeformation flow analysis and symmetry of Goushti shear zone, Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt, Iran
Finite strain and vorticity analyses were carried out in the deformed conglomerate and micro-conglomerate of Goushti shear zone in the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt (Zagros Mountains Iran). These deformed rocks are bounded between two NE and SW major thrust faults. Finite strain measurements on three principal planes of strain ellipsoid show the higher amounts of strain ratios near the major...
متن کاملInvestigation of the strength and trend of seismic anisotropy beneath the Zagros collision zone
The Zagros collision zone is known as an active tectonic zone that represents the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian and Arabian plates. A popular strategy for gaining insight into the upper mantle processes is to examine the splitting of seismic shear waves and interpret them in terms of upper mantle anisotropy and deformation. Core phases SK(K)S from over 278 earthquakes (MW ≥ ...
متن کاملEvidence of fluid - filled upper crust from observations of post - seismic deformation due to the 1992 M w 7 . 3 Landers earthquake
I investigate post-seismic deformation due to the 1992 Mw7.3 Landers, southern California, earthquake using the entire catalog of the ERS Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, and GPS measurements made between 1992 and 1999. The stacked interferometric SAR data spanning the time period of seven years between the Landers and the Hector Mine earthquakes reveal a transient post-seismic deformation ...
متن کاملاستفاده از ریزساختار بلورهای کوارتز و کلسیت و شارههای درگیر در تحلیل شرایط دگرشکلی و برآورد خاستگاه سیستم روراندهی کوهزاد زاگرس در منطقهی بختیاری
Structural analysis of the High Zagros Zone and southwestern rim of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone in the Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtyari area resulted in recognition of a thrust system comprises the Ben, Hafshejan, Farsan, Kuhrang and Bazoft thrust sheets from NE to SW. In this study, quartz and calcite microstructures as well as fluid inclusions have been utilized to inspect deformation conditions of the ...
