Title

Morphotectonic and structural analysis of Mahneshan area

Pages

  79-95

Abstract

 Mahneshan area located in northwestern part of Zanjan Province contains highly diverse morphologic units. This morphologic diversity is mainly due to climate factors, tectonic movements, high rate of erosion and lithologic characteristics. Wind erosion is one of the most important factors creating wonderful geologic features such as some specific erosion landforms in this region. This study is concentrated on active tectonics of Mahneshan, analyzing structural and morphotectonic characteristics of the region accompanied by field investigations. Ductile layers of Upper Red Formation have key role in regional kinematic deformation. Mahneshan and Angouran thrust faults are major NW trending active faults in this area. Active faults are mapped in satellite images. Field investigations represent that dominant regional tectonic activities have been active coeval with rock unit sedimentation in Pliocene-Quaternary. Arabia-Eurasia convergence is involved in active faulting along NW trending major thrust faults in the study area.
