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...

Study area is located in the higher folded belt in the Zagros Mountain in the Iraqi Kurdistan. Analyzed geomorphic indices included sixteen sub basins: the stream gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (AF), hypsometric integral (Hi), Valley floor width-valley height ratio (VF) and mountain front sinuosity (J) is obtained relative of tectonic activity in the study area. These indices abo...

The Aravalli–Delhi Fold Belt (ADFB) is one of three prominent ridges on the continental part Indian plate extending northward from central India and subducting beneath Himalayan arc. Though it seismogenic along its entire NE–SW structural trend, activity varies spatially with a noteworthy region higher seismicity in vicinity Delhi. We analyse historical modern instrumented seismicity. Using rec...
