Assessment of Active Tectonic Status Using Analysis of Geomorphic and Morphometric Parameters (Case Study: West Basins of Kermanshah Province)
introduction Active tectonic studies are one of the most important topics in earth science and their results are widely used for assessing natural hazards and land use development and management plans in populated areas (Pedra et al., 2009, 220).Among these, geomorphic indices have been effective in assessing active teconic in large areas due to their high speed and accuracy (Clare & Pinter, ...
متن کاملMorphotectonics investigations of the Garehbagh basin area based on morphometric indices, NW Iran
Morphotectonic investigations were carried out by the use of morphometric indices which serve as a tool of identification in regions with active tectonic warp. Landforms in active deformation area are produced from relations of tectonic and surficial processes. One of the most significant landforms underground is rivers that are extremely responsive to tectonic movements mainly uplift and tilti...
متن کاملAssessment of active tectonic by using geomorphic indices in Dezful- Andimeshk basin
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...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of relative tectonic activity in the Alamarvdasht river basin, south of Iran
Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (Vf), dra...
متن کاملIdentification of active tectonic areas using fractal analysis (box counting) of earthquakes, lines and waterways of Alborz province
Fractal analysis of earthquakes, lineages and waterways are considered as one of the practical tools to evaluate tectonic activity. With the help of fractal analysis, structural maturity and tectonic dynamics can be evaluated. In this research, using fractal analysis and box counting method and fild studies, the measured fractal dimensions for the designed network of Alborz province were studie...
