This study provides precise geomorphological data for the Dashtkhak region, aiding in the evaluation of tectonic activity. The data on mountain fronts and valleys helps assess geological and geographical features for tectonic insights.
Area of Science:
- Geology
- Geography
- Tectonics
- Geomorphology
Background:
- Morphotectonic indices offer insights into tectonic activity over longer timescales than earthquake records.
- The Dashtkhak area in Iran is situated near the active Kouhbanan strike-slip fault, highlighting its tectonic significance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present precise geomorphological data of mountain fronts and valleys in the Dashtkhak region.
- To facilitate morphotectonic investigations into the relationship between geomorphology and tectonic activity.
- To provide foundational data for evaluating the tectonic activity of the region.
Main Methods:
- Processing of remotely sensed Landsat satellite data.
- Photogeological analysis of aerial photographs.
- Measurements on topographic maps, validated by field checks.
Main Results:
- Precise data collected for 31 mountain fronts and 61 valleys.
- The dataset is suitable for calculating key morphotectonic indices.
- Enables quantitative assessment of tectonic landforms.
Conclusions:
- The presented data is crucial for understanding the interplay between tectonics and geomorphology in active fault zones.
- This dataset supports detailed morphotectonic analysis and regional tectonic activity assessment.
- Valuable resource for geologists, geographers, and tectonic researchers.
