Abstract
Today, along with morphometric and distance-based methods based on the use of satellite imagery and digital elevation model (DEM), several algorithms have been developed to evaluate tectonic activities in the form of land-based software applications. This includes TecDEM software. (Shahzad and Golghoun, 2011). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the morphotectonic analysis of the catchment areas of the Karkas Mountains by using TecDEM-based geomorphic components and analyzing the digital elevation model and field evidence from the analysis of morphotectonic data. In this research, we tried to study the geomorphometric methods and comparative analysis of geomorphic phenomena in catchment areas. The effect of each of these basins on the tectonic movements of Qom-Zefreh's fault system by quantifying landform phenomena using the features of the single program, Check and evaluate. Concerning the right-angled motion of the right-strike motion components along with the vertical components of the fault system (QZFS), is the study of the research problem, have the surface dynamics and catchment areas in the studied area been uniformly affected by the tectonic processes of this system? On the other hand, have the changes of the pattern tectonic processes have affected the hydrogeomorphological model of catchment areas? Therefore, in this research, using the basic principles of geomorphic tectonics, the adaptation of land surface changes to changes in their shaping processes has been investigated.
