Determination of Tectonic Activity Based on the Morphology of Alluvial Fan Systems (Case Study: the Northern Slopes of Sabalan Volcanic Mount)

Aims & Backgrounds: Alluvial fans are one of the most prominent phenomena in fluvial geomorphology, which are found mostly on the mountain front. These landforms are affected by climate change and tectonic activity and record their effects. Therefore, we can use them to understand climate change and tectonic activities. The aim of this study was to determine the tectonic activity in the northern front of the Sabalan mountain through the morphology of the fan systems. by doing such research to a certain extent of damage to life and property due to natural disasters can be prevented.
