Abstract

Introduction: Geomorphological observations reveal the presence of active FAULTing and thrusting in the western part of Lut block, SE. Iran. It appears that the right-lateral shear between the Zagros and Makran mountains has caused the active FAULTing of this part of central Iran.Aim: Reconnaissance and analysis of active FAULTs, identification of general trend of FAULTs and important joints, which are the tectonic fractures in the proposed area.Material and Methods: The topographic map and ETM DATA preprocessing methods were used to make a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the geological structure, at the study area. The image preprocessing was carried out through filtering‚ homogenization‚ edges clearing‚ topographic reflection.Results: The remote sensing DATA reveal the distribution of active FAULTing across large areas of deformation. Concidering the satellite image, the general trend of structures is northwest southeast and follows the Zagros trend.Conclusion: The FAULT structures in the studied region do appear to be active in the late Quaternary and may be capable of producing destructive earthquakes in the future. The most of existing FAULTs are reverse and some of them show strike-slip movement, which is the indicative of the compressive tectonic regime influencing the whole Iran plateau. The compressional force is as a result of the movement of the Arabian plate toward the Iran plateau and causes the development of the structures with northwest southeast trend.
