Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Viewpoint for Seismotectonic ZoningReza Derakhshani, Seyed Saeed EslamiProblem statement: Seismotectonic zoning has always been used to get access to intracontinental seismic deformation whereas zoning is not enough reliable in regard with small-scale studies. Approach: This research presents a theoretical model on the basis of plate tectonic theory to introduce a new approach to conduct zoning in terms of seismic deformation. Results: The result of this research not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,663 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractActive Faulting and Quaternary Landforms Deformation Related to the Nain FaultAbolghasem Gourabi, Mojtaba YamaniProblem statement: Landforms developed across terrain defining boundary the Nain fault have imprints of recent tectonic activity in the west region of Central Iran. Depositional landforms such as alluvial fans bear signatures of later phases of tectonic activity in the form of faulting of alluvial fan deposits and development of fault traces and scarps within 100 km long and a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 7,823 accessesView PDF Cite
