Structure Style and Southern Qom Seismicity

Historical Seismicity in Qom province indicated high activity faults in the area that composes of reverse and strike slip fault system. This fault has important role in deformation of continental crust and structural style. Paying attention to the strategic position of Qom and nearness to Tehran causes evaluated Seismic activity in south Qom. In this paper, several faults with potential of activity are recognized through satellite images, field trip and with seismic data. Also, intersect of lineation with NW-SE trend and magnetic malformations with NE-SW trend are correlated by earthquake focus but this is not mapped in Geologic reports. Therefore the study of this seismic power fault is suggested.
