morphometric characteristics of anticlines can play an important role in the exploration of oil resources. the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of geomorphology on the exploration of oil resources in oil-rich bankol and oil-less danehkhoshk anticlines by means of geomorphological indices. to achieve the purpose of this study, topographic maps at a scale of 1:50000 and geologic...

Sinuous patterns traced by fluid flows are a ubiquitous feature of physical landscapes on Earth, Mars, the volcanic floodplains of the Moon and Venus, and other planetary bodies. Typically discussed as a consequence of migration processes in meandering rivers, sinuosity is also expressed in channel types that show little or no indication of meandering. Sinuosity is sometimes described as "inher...

the tabriz fault in northwest of iran is the important geological structure in our country which historical earthquakes were recorded around it. the purpose of this paper is the study of tabriz fault seismotectonic activity. the method of research is drawing 23 cross section vertical to tabriz fault between tabriz and bostan-abad distinguish mountain-front faceting, mountain-front sinuosity and...

The study area is located in the Eastern Anatolian Plateau found Alpine-Himalayan fold mountain belt. Engil River Upper Basin (Güzelsu) within Lake Van Closed Basin, largest soda lake this belt terms of volume and area. This aims to investigate geomorphologic evolution Güzelsu support development with morphometric analysis. With aim, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was created aim quantifying e...

the study area is the rahmat anticline. this is located in fars province (sw fold simple zagros belt). the aims of this study are morphotectonic studies and structural analysis in several parts of area. for this purpose: 1) morphotectonic indices, drainage basin shape index (bs), mountain front sinuosity index (smf) and valley floor width – height ratio (vf) were measured by digital elevation m...

The Gulf of Suez area represents one the most famous tectonic structures in Red Sea, with a long history low-, moderate-, and high-intensity earthquakes. This paper provides geomorphic analytics fault-initiated mountain front sinuosity (Smf) stream gradients that cross various segments fault scarps. results from index valley floor width to height ratio (Vf) suggest different levels activities a...

the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

The Lower Khazir River provides a good example of changes in river alignment associated with neotectonic movements. The aim of this paper is to address the two following questions: 1How big an impact does the river exert upon the process of (fold) anticline growth? 2Where are the largest geomorphic changes along the lower course of the Khazir River and how are they connected to the sinuosity of...

Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (Vf), dra...
