Arabia-Eurasia convergence is achieved in the NW Zagros by a combination of shortening on NW-SE- trending folds and thrusts, mainly in the Zagros Structural Belt,and by right-lateral strike-slip on the NW-SE-trending Main Recent Fault.The contrast stretched of ETM band 4 was found to be the best in displaying lineaments and folds for the area,hence was further processed by using directional filters and generated different combinations of False Color Composites.Finally a structural map of the study area has been prepared using the processed ETM images.This study indicates that the...
