earthquakes are a particular concern because of the serious hazard they present. the existence of seismicity patterns such as the foreshock and aftershock clusters, doughnut pattern, seismic quiescence etc show that the earthquake occurrence in the active tectonic regions is not random and clustering phenomena are obvious characteristics of these events in space and time. fractal analysis, as a...

The geometry, kinematics and dynamics of fold-and-thrust belts are strongly influenced by the mechanical behaviour basal décollement. However, many also include mechanically weak lithologies such as evaporites marls or mudstones at different levels within shortened stratigraphy. dynamic evolution these thrust controlled both décollement units embedded overlying stratigraphic succession. In Zagr...

Soil loss is one of the most important causes land degradation. It an inevitable environmental and socio-economic problem that exists in many physiographic regions world, which, besides other impacts, has a direct bearing on agricultural productivity. A reliable estimate soil critical for designing implementing any mitigation measures. We applied widely used Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUS...

The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components. The crustal and lithospheric mantle structure is calculated from the geoid height and elevation data combined with thermal analysis. Our results show that Moho depth var...
