Abstract Previous investigation of seismic anisotropy indicates the presence a simple mantle flow regime beneath Turkish-Anatolian Plateau and Arabian Plate. Numerical modeling suggests that this is component large-scale global associated with African superplume, which plays key role in geodynamic framework Arabia-Eurasia continental collision zone. However, extent impact pattern farther east I...

The mountain fortress of Rabana-Merquly was a major regional centre the Parthian period (first century BC) in Zagros Mountains Iraqi Kurdistan. iconography two rock-reliefs that show an unnamed ruler suggests association with vassal kingdom Adiabene. exceptional preservation fortress's stone walls, undamaged by later agriculture this highland location, provides almost complete example large, fo...

the effect of environmental factors on plant vegetation is different. therefore, it is necessary to evaluate role of these factors in medicinal plants growth, development and essential oil. this study was performed to investigate the effect of factors on qualitative and quantitative variations of the essential oil of verbascum songaricum in its habitats in central zagros mountains, iran in 2012...

dehbid mylonite nappes associated with the tutak gneiss dome as the zagros hinterland involved-basement window in the zagros orogenic belt has significant components of dextral sense of shear along the mylonite nappes and are related to the high proportion of simple shear relative to pure shear deformation. kinematic vorticity analysis (wk) was made in order to determination of relative amounts...
