Seismicity and return period investigation of destructive earthquake in Makran subduction zone
Discover GeoscienceThis work uses the frequency-magnitude relation for the earthquakes to analyze seismicity and return period for the earthquakes in Makran subduction and its adjacent region. The data for seismicity analysis and return period range from 1934 to 2022, with

ASSESSMENT OF OPTIMUM VALUE FOR DIP ANGLE AND LOCKING RATE PARAMETERS IN MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 Makran subduction zone is one of the convergent areas that have been studied by spatial geodesy. Makran zone is located in the South Eastern of Iran and South of Pakistan forming the part of Eurasian-Arabian plate's border where oceanic crust in the ...

Extension at the coast of the Makran subduction zone (Iran)
Terra Nova, 2019 AbstractIn the Makran subduction zone, earthquake focal mechanisms and geodetic data indicate that the deforming prism currently experiences N–S compression. However, palaeostress inversions performed on normal faults observed along the coast reveal local stress components consistent with N‐S extension.

Deformational pattern and seismogenic potential of the eastern Makran subduction zone [PDF]
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2022 In last 500 years, the ∼900 km long Makran subduction zone (MSZ) has hosted 9 M7+ large earthquakes, and 8 of them activated the eastern segment of the fault. The 1945 M 8.1 megathrust event also generated significant tsunami signifying the region as active subduction zone in the world.

GPS constraints on interplate locking within the Makran subduction zone [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2016 The Makran subduction zone is one of the last convergent margins to be investigated using space-based geodesy. While there is a lack of historical and modern instrumentation in the region, a sparse sampling of continuous and campaign measurements over the past decade has allowed us to make the first estimates of convergence rates.

Evaluation of tsunami wave energy generated by earthquakes in the Makran subduction zone [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2018 The Makran subduction zone, an approximate 1000 km section of the Eurasian-Arabian plate, is located offshore of Southern Iran and Pakistan. In 1945, the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) generated a tsunamigenic earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 8.1. The region has also experienced large historical earthquakes but the data regarding these events are poorly

Imaging the seismic structure of the western Makran Subduction Zone
Geophysical Journal InternationalSUMMARY We analyse data from 48 seismic stations located in the western part of the Makran Subduction Zone to gain a detailed knowledge of the crustal and uppermost mantle structure in that region. The Makran is a flat subduction zone with a very thick accretionary wedge.

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsPersistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt.

THE POTENTIAL OF TSUNAMI GENERATION ALONG THE MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE IN THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA. CASE STUDY: THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI OF NOVEMBER 28, 1945 [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006 Although large earthquakes along the Makran Subduction Zone are infrequent, the potential for the generation of destructive tsunamis in the Northern Arabian Sea cannot be overlooked.
