Active Tectonic Assessment of the Baghmalek Basin according to sustainable development

Tectonic movements and fault activities can be determined by examining historical geological, geomorphological, seismic, and geophysical conditions, and factors such as landslides and sedimentary flows are examined and analyzed, and this analysis is conducted. The results of this study are to examine the characteristics of the Baghmalek Basin of Khuzestan Province using these indicators. The analysis of the subject can prevent and prevent the subsequent consequences of the tectonic year by providing appropriate solutions and predicting their destructive effects in the relevant basin. The study area is located in the folded Zagros region and this area is tectonically one of the most active areas of the Zagros. The active tectonic status of the Baghmalek watershed was investigated using geometric indices (indices of asymmetry index Af, hypsometric integral, sinuosity or meandering of the river, sinuosity of the mountain front (smf) and the ratio index of the width of the valley floor to the height of the valley Vf). The study of the studied basin shows that the hypsometric index of the basin is in the area of aging and decline. Of course, in field observations, the general appearance of the region shows the maturity stage. The smf index shows a value of ۱.۶۲. Accordingly, the tectonic activity in the region is insignificant. Considering the cases studied, the hypothesis of this study that the Baghmalek basin is tectonically active is rejected. Because the investigated indices indicate the lack of tectonic activity of the region.
