Strain analysis in the Sanandaj–Sirjan HP-LT Metamorphic Belt, SW Iran: Insights from small-scale faults and associated drag folds

Slip partitioning and inclined transpression in the Bazargan fold and thrust belt, Central Iran Microcontinent, Kerman area, SE Iran

“…In Iran, transpression deformation zones have been identified in different parts of the Zagros simply folded belt (Navabpour et al, 2007), high Zagros (Agard et al, 2011;, Sanandaj-Sirjan zone and Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Belt (Amirihanza et al, 2018;Mirzaie et al, 2015;Mohajjel and Fergusson 2014;Mohajjel et al, 2003;Mohajjel and Fergusson 2000;Sarkarinejad 2007;Sarkarinejad and Azizi 2008;Shafiei Bafti and Mohajjel 2015;Sarkarinejad et al, 2015;Keshavarz and Faghih, 2020), Alborz (Nabavi et al, 2017), Binalud (Sheikholeslami et al, 2019). In the east of central Iran N-S to NE-SW dextral transpression have been recognized along the boundary between the Lut and Tabas blocks (Cifelli et al, 2013).…”
