Seismotectonic and seismicity of Makran, a bimodal subduction zone, SE Iran

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2019
Abstract The present study combined spatial distribution and mechanism of seismicity, seismicity parameters, geomorphology in satellite imagery and tectonic features in Makran inland to show that the Makran low angle thrust fault is divided into two separate segments. Depth dispersal of earthquakes, especially relocated events, shows that the sinking

Seismic imaging of the lithospheric structures in the Iranian Makran subduction zone

2023
The Makran subduction zone (MSZ) is located in between the Zagros mountain belt to the west and Himalayan orogen to the east, forming a transition from oceanic subduction to continental collision on both sides along the Tethyan orogenic belt. The Arabian oceanic plate, a narrow remnant of the Neotethys ocean, is subducting northward beneath the ...

Selection and Modification of Ground Motion Prediction Equations for Makran Subduction Zone, Southeast Iran

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2021
The Iranian Plateau is considered mostly as a shallow crustal area, except the Makran region in southeast Iran where subduction events can occur. Because of the tectonic characteristics of the Makran subduction zone, different categories of ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are required for seismic hazard assessment, including GMPEs for ...

Geodetic investigations of permanent earthquake-cycle deformation at the Makran subduction zone

2022
In many numerical modeling studies of the Earth system. Crustal deformation in response to earthquake rupture is assumed to be an elastic process, where earthquake-induced strain is recoverable after several earthquake cycles. Inelastic deformation, or permanent damages caused by the earthquake are ignored in under the elastic assumption, leading to ...

Far-Field Effects of Large Tsunamis Produced by the Makran Subduction Zone

Volume 4: Ocean Engineering; Ocean Renewable Energy; Ocean Space Utilization, Parts A and B, 2009
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which exported death and destruction to far distant shores, once more emphasized the tsunami hazards associated with transoceanic tsunamis. Historical records of tsunamis in the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) reveal that Makran tsunamis are capable of producing large waves in the far-field.

Probabilistic Quantification of Tsunami Currents in Karachi Port, Makran Subduction Zone, using Statistical Emulation

2020
In this paper, we model the full range of possible local impacts of future tsunamis in the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) at Karachi port, Pakistan.

Pn -velocity structure beneath Arabia–Eurasia Zagros collision and Makran subduction zones

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2014
Abstract We use Pn -tomography to map lithospheric mantle velocity and anisotropy at the Arabia–Eurasia plate boundary, namely Makran and Zagros. We use catalogue events recorded by Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran networks, the International Seismological Centre and the National Earthquake Information ...
