Assessment and conformance of geomorphologic and seismologic evidence of active tectonic in Central Zagros area

Active faults are located in those parts of earth crust with tectonic movements in the post-Quaternary period and especially in Holocon epoch and are expected to have hazardous occurrences in future. The previous studies performed using geomorphologic indices on the other global parts، revealed the efficacy of them in identification of active faults. There are a variety of discussions regarding selecting and using active tectonic geomorphologic indices، their relationships and analysis procedures of the obtained results. In the present work، Central Zagros area was selected and assessed that included head branches of Dez River، Zayandehroud River، and Karoon River and is located in both sides of Main Zagros Fault، Sanandaj-Sirjan zone and high Zagros zone.
