        Idensification of geomorphological characteristics of Karst area which are formedmainly of soluble Carbonate stones such as limestone is form the point of view ofapplication are related to many human activities such as industry and agricultural dueto the water they provide for thoese activities. The Khaviz anticline which is located inthe province Khoozestan and in folded Zagros, is studied in this trend. This anticline isdivided by Marun river in two western and eastern parts. The gurpi formation (latecretaceous), pabdeh formation (Eocene), asmari limestone (oligomiocene) andquartaermary alluvial materials are exposed in this anticline. Tectonic movements havecrushed the anticline and caused joint systems and 24 faults. The present climate issemiarid. Despite this climate there are different forms of karst features such as Lapies(german, karren), Dolines, uvalas, and karst vallies. These forms seems to belong tothe paleokarst. Geological structure and conditions of lithologhy has controlled thelater evolution of karst features dominantly. Manuscript profile

        Karstification is a process of geology and caused by mechanical or chemical erosionand solution in water, like lime stone, dolomite, gypsum or salts near the surface of theearth. Karstification is generally developed in an area where contains lime stone andlineament with humid condition. Pabdeh anticline in Lali from Zagros Fold Belt southwest of Iran is selected to study the karstification and lineaments. This study beginswith digital image processing and extraction of lineaments on Landsat ETM+ imagedated 2002 and to map geology of the area. Geographical information system (GIS) isused for spatial analysis and to generate various maps. This study is emphasis toinfluences of lineaments-tectonics on karstification and guide for exploration ofground water in kart region of Pabdeh anticline. The study shows more accrue digitalgeology and structural maps than previous maps. This study also reveals the dolinesare following the lineaments directions in the area. Manuscript profile

        The asymmetric ENE WNW trending Inehvarzan - Dalichai anticline that is located in the East of -Damavand city and on the East of Central Alborz. This anticline consists of late Precambrian -Paleozoic - Mesozoic sediments. North limb of this anticline is confined to the Dehnar Mosha fault -and southern branch of this fault. South limb anticline is limited to the several secondary faults.Morphotectonic investigations including geomorphic indexes, e.g. Smf, Facet%, Af, Vf, fordetermination of the relative tectonics activity class of this anticline are carried out. The analysis ofthese indices demonstrates that North limb anticline is more active than the South limb. Manuscript profile

        Ghir-Karzin city is in the southeastern Fars province. In this research by using satellite images, length ongestionmap, cross section, and number of lineation and map of the earthquakes focus in the region were prepared andthen by obtaining indices of mountain’s Facet outcrop amount (in percentage), mountain’s facet meander (Smf),and length-stream index (SL) on the three anticlines Changal, Palang and Afzar, of tectonic activities rates ofthese anticlines have been investigated. The results obtained from these indices, in addition to being presented inthe tables, for much better representation and analysis, have been shown as a numerical model and a profile aswell. . Combination of the obtained data from the map of fractures, indices’ numerical model, map of epicenters,and drainage profiles indicates that the region’s anticlines are active, i.e. uplifting rate in the region is higher thanerosion rate. Finally, after study of the obtained results, the reason for high rate of tectonic activity in the easternsection of Changal anticline was found to be this anticline’s vergency towards south-west and increase of thefissure and fractures as a result of extensity in the northern top chord and pressure production in the southern topchord. In the western section of this anticline too, the high tectonic activity can be attributed to presence of theDarre siah Fault. High tectonic activity of Afzar anticline is due to presence of the active fault Ghir in north-eastof this anticline and the anomaly map of the fractures and epicenters confirm these results as well.

        In this study, we tried to dentify the fractures and faults of Khaviz Anticline, north of Behbahan, by using the ETM+ satellite images and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in the ENVI 4.8 and Arc GIS software environments. Therefore, the lineaments were identified using the linear filters in different directions and the hillShade map constructed from the DEM. Subsequently, the lineaments were compared with the constructed band combinations and the geological map to separate the fractures and faults. Based on the findings, the dominant direction of the fractures and faults follow the northwest-southeast (NW-SE) trend along Khaviz Anticline. Assessment the ISODENSITY map of the faults and fractures indicates that there is the utmost accumulation of the fault and fractures is in the south limb of Khaviz Anticline, Then by considering the important role of fractures and faults in migration of hydrocarbons, the southern flank of this anticline can acts as a suitable area for accumulation of hydrocarbons Manuscript profile

        The geomorphic analysis of mountain fronts, anticlines and folded belts can provide valuable insights about the recorded tectonic history of any given region. Therefore, such studies at a regional scale have been frequently undertaken using morphotectonic analysis to delineate areas having higher tectonic activity. Keteh Pifak anticline is located in the northeast of Eyvan-e-Qarb township, north of Ilam province and is considered as a part of the Zagros simply folded belt. In this research, with the aim of evaluating the active neotectonic movements in the Keteh Pifak anticline, the six geomorphic indices such as: Ratio of Valley Floor Width to Valley Height (VF), Percentage Undissected Escarpments (EU), Percentage Dissected Mountain Fronts (FD), Fold Front Sinuosity (FFS), Fold Symmetry Index (FSI), Aspect Ratio (AR) and Relative Tectonic Activity Index (Iat) have been used. The morphometry of Keteh Pifak anticline were determined using topographic maps, satellite imageries and field works. Also, the structural, tectonically and lithologically data were obtained using geological map (5257 sheets No) with 1:100,000 scale. Results show that high values of FFS, EU, AR indices and low values of FD, VF, FSI indices indicate the young and asymmetry of this anticline, the continuation of neotectonic forces and low erosion in the anticline. Also, based on the Iat index, it was determined that this anticline at class 3 of activity. Field evidence in the study area such as narrow valleys (V-shaped), straight, steep and faulted escarpments, asymmetric fold show that this anticline is tectonically relative active.
