Abstract

Sedimental-structural area of Alborz consists of altitudes of northern Iranian plateau, which are ranging from Azarbaijan to Khorasan in a general E-W direction, in the form of a composite anticline.In the western part, structures trend to be NW-SE while in the eastern part they trend to be NE-SW. They both meet each other just in the CENTRAL ALBORZ.The history of the SEISMICITY of Alborz stresses the fact that the CENTRAL ALBORZ area has great potential for SEISMICITY. According to the major faults, located in the CENTRAL ALBORZ area with a seismic background as well as nearness of the metropolis Tehran to the verge of them, the study of local and regional faults is of great importance.Last studies demonstrate that Purkan-Vardij fault is a thrust fault but new studies shows that this fault is an old steep fault partly with a strike-slip component which does not affect the quaternary plain in the area and the strike-slip movement effects appear in the direction of fault activity. It’s essential to mention that the study of this fault has not been seriously conducted before, so the mechanism of the fault and the history of its likely SEISMICITY are not basically clear. Considering data analysis as well as drawing them on the diagrams, Purkan-Vardij fault illustrates a right lateral movement with a compression component. Also a detailed examination of local joints suggests a dominant N-S stress in the area.
