In this paper, faults, one of the most important causes geohazards, were investigated from a kinematic and geometric viewpoint in northern part Sistan suture zone (SSZ), which serves as boundary between Afghan Lut blocks. Furthermore, field evidence was analyzed order to assess structural type deformation mechanism research area. Birjand mountain range, several ~E–W striking faults cut through ...

Nosrat-Abad ophiolitic extrusive sequence, located in the Sistan Suture Zone, in south eastern Iran. The extrusive sequence, contains pillow lava, sheet flow and related volcanic-clastic breccias which have undergone low-grade metamorphism. This association shows calc alkaline to tholeiitic affinities. Interpretation of the geochemical data and behavior of the elements in different diagrams rev...

This research assessed stress regimes and fields in eastern Iran using fault-slip data the tectonic events associated with these changes. Our analysis of brittle structures Shekarab Mountains revealed significant changes from late Cretaceous to Quaternary. Reconstructing age sense fault movements showed that during Cretaceous, direction maximum horizontal axes (?1) under a compressional regime ...

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...
