Abstract :
Historical Seismicity in Qom province indicated high activity faults in the area that composes of reverse andstrike slip fault system. This fault has important role in deformation of continental crust and structural style.Paying attention to the strategic position of Qom and nearness to Tehran causes evaluated Seismic activity insouth Qom. In this paper, several faults with potential of activity are recognized through satellite images, fieldtrip and with seismic data. Also, intersect of lineation with NW-SE trend and magnetic malformations with NESW trend are correlated by earthquake focus but this is not mapped in Geologic reports. Therefore the study ofthis seismic power fault is suggested.
