Evaluation of Active Tectonics of Qezel Ozan River Using Geomorphological Indices

Evaluation of active tectonics in Qezel Ozan Basin on the basis of geomorphological indices was the main goal of this study. It is carried out by dividing the Qezel Ozan Basin Area into 11 sub- basins of different sizes, according to its topographic configuration, and examining the value of different geomorphic indices, include: stream length-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), ratio of valley-floor width to valley height (Vf), index of drainage basin shape (Bs), index of transverse topographic symmetry (T), hypsometric integral (Hi) and mountain front sinuosity (Smf), for each sub-basin. The interpretation of achieved results revealed that tectonic activity in the Qezel Ozan Basin is low to moderate.
