Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic  zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes  are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...

Morphometric analysis is mathematical evaluation and measurement of the earth’s shape, surface its landform’s dimension. Dhund river basin in Jaipur district Rajasthan India has been carried out to evaluate various morphometric parameters following linear, areal relief aspects. The drainage basin, which covers a total area about 1828 km2 lies eastern part with maximum minimum elevation 603 m 21...

ardekoul fault zone which is along nnw-sse is located in eastern iran and northern part of the sistan subzone. dextral strike-slip fault zone of ardekuol is made of six main segments including korizan (28 km), bohn abad (8.8 km), abiz (32 km), gazkoon (20 km), moein abad (30.4 km), ghal maran (12 km), and two minor segments including olang morgh (12.8 km) and seh pestan (9.6 km).  the studied r...

â â â  chele basin is located in zagros mountains and the border between kermanshah and ilam. seems young geomorphological landforms in the region, are as a result of quaternary neotectonic activities . the purpose of this study is assessment of young morphotectonic movements influence on landform evolution in the chele basin øŒ and comparing the result with the tentative indices and geomorphic...

The morphotectonic analysis is a useful time-saving and cost-effective method to assess tectonic activity, especially in large regions. In this paper, the study was carried out Kerman city which southeast of Iran part Central structural zone. Despite occurrence numerous historical instrumental earthquakes around city, there gap earthquake records that has obscured its seismicity status. aim ide...

Geographical information system (GIS) has emerged as an efficient tool in delineation of drainage pattern and ground water potential and its planning. GIS and image processing techniques can be employed for the identification of morphological features and analyzing properties of basin. The morphometric parameters of basin can address linear, areal and relief aspects. The present study deals mai...

An automated process for the delineation of drainage basins, using as input only the vector based drainage network, is described which provides an alternative to DEM based methods. The procedure involves an approximation of the line Voronoi diagram for the network using a constrained Delaunay triangulation of the network's Planar Straight Line Graph. The constrained triangulation, which include...
