Study of the Differences in Behavior of Tabriz North Faults with an Attitude on Changes of Geomorphologic Indices Along this Fault

Abstract:
Morphological study of ​​Tabriz north fault indicates the high rate of tectonic activity along this fault. The indices calculated for Tabriz north fault confirms this fault’s activity aswell. Tabriz fault with approximate length of 97 km has formed of two main parts ( the northern part and the southern part ) . The changes of geomorphologic indices value along Tabriz north fault show difference in the behavior of this fault along itself. This difference of behavior impacts on geomorphologic behavior of this fault’s surrounding areas and creates different landscapes along this fault and also at its north and west part. Based on the difference in behavior of Tabriz north fault, it is separable in to three parts.
So that, at the northern part of Tabriz north fault, a gentle up rise and tectonic activities at the northern block of this fault and lack of tectonic activities and up rise at its southern block can be observed. The southern part of this fault also shows different behavior along itself, i.e. at a length of southern part of the fault which extends from north of Tabriz airport up to the south part of Baghmishe town. At the northern block of Tabriz fault, a gentle rate of up rise and tectonic activities is observed.
While, at a length of the southern part of the fault which extends from Baghmishe town up to Bostan abad town, we observe tectonic activities and up rising at the south block of this fault and low rate of up rising and tectonic activities at the its northern block.
