allochthonous masses are common structures in zagros fold-thrust belt. they are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. however, large allochthonous masses mapped in dowgonbadan area in dezful embayment near the mountain front fault (mff) of zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

The Bitlis-Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is one of the world?s largest deformation zones, extending from Eastern Mediterranean in southern Turkey to south Iran. This zone partitioned between different structures; however, little known about relative activities these structures and their effects on topography. An area located northern part Bitlis- Zagros Belt, just Anatolian Plateau was studied detail...

We studied the behavior of earthquake network using HEALPix spherical pixelization and square cells methods. In first method, geographical region is divided into isolatitude rhombic-spherical same areas method. second we equal cells. To construct a network, if an happens in cell, that cell will become node, two nodes be connected with edge for successive events. The built from Iran’s seismic da...

In this paper the geometrical relationship of the folds which exist in the Folded Zagros Mountains, including Asef Mountain (northern Iran), were studied. The southern and western zones of the Zagros Mountains are called the Folded Zagros. These zones extend approximately 1,375 km in length with a width ranging from 120 to 250 km. Asef Mountain is located in northern Shiraz (from northern Sarda...

in current paper, geometrical relationship between the longitudinal faults of a zone of the folded zagros, surrounding asef mountains (north of shiraz) that follow the northwest-southeast structural trend (eg. zarghan, katah and sadra faults) has been studied. a western and southern zone of zagros mountain chain called folded zagros has a length of about 1375 km and a width between 120 and 250 ...

deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the iranian-arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly sanandaj-sirjan belt or zone) is the main concern of this paper. here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of eghlid-deh bid area as affected by the position of zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. the modeled area is located between the zagros thrust...
