چکیده

In this study, a new method is introduced for visualizing the vector data for the first time. This method is based on RGB attributing each rectangular cell within a grid with a specific square mesh size. Two different quantities are introduced, namely unidirectional and bidirectional, which will be illustrated using the two color circle types ۱ and ۲ as color scales. Seeking the correct illustration of the directions with a color scale, the opposite directions (SHmax) should be of the same color, making the problem more sophisticated so that the usual color wheel cannot be used. As an example, the SHmax variations in the Zagros Makran transition zone was mapped by using this new approach. Maximum horizontal stress directions are extracted from available earthquake focal mechanism data. The results show important variations in SHmax direction, which reflect the complicated tectonic environment of the study area. Several anomalies in the direction of SHmax are observed in the study area for the first time by implementing the proposed new method. Some of the anomalies take place in the areas where deeper earthquakes occur. This may imply the decoupling between the shallow seismogenic zone within the sedimentary cover and the crystalline basement, responsible for deeper events.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
