abstract

in this study, the quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of saeedabad-chai drainage basin, are assessed using geomorphic approach. this drainage basin is located in northern slope of sahand mountain. north tabriz fault (ntf), is passing from the saeedabad-chai basin. variation in the morphology of mountain front provied the basis for geomorphic assessment of tectonic activity. therefore, it is used from geomorphic index as stream length gradiant index (sl), asymmetry factor (af), topographic symmetry factor (t), drainage basin shaperatio (bs ), mountain front sinusity (smf), ratio of valley – floor with to vally height (vf), percentage undissected mountain factors (eu), topographical maps, digital elevatiom model (dem), satellite images and autocad map, arc/view software. the results of this study that estimated by index of relative active tectonic (iat) , indicated that the value of tectonic activity in the saeedabad-chai drainage basin, is high.

Assessment 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...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

the role of application of dynamic assessment approach in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels

the present study sought to investigate the role of dynamic assessment (da) in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels. to this end, after conducting the quick placement test, 60 iranian efl learners were assigned to two groups with different language proficiency levels. in both groups each participant wrote two compositions, one before and one af...

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, ...

Introduction Paleoclimatics studies can respond the many uncertainties about past climate change; an issue that is being studied seriously in the world but less attention has been paid in Iran. The Late Quaternary can be considered as Holocene. Holocene, which spans over 11,000 years ago; In general, it is considered as a period with relatively warm and stable climatic conditions. However, rec...

Geomorphic and structural assessment of active tectonics in NW Alborz

Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...
