        one of the most attractive and complex geomorphologic phenomenons ar(tang) thisattraction and complexity need to make some hypothesis about the progress of themthe hypothesis which have achived a classic aspect because of a lot of use in thisresearch takab transverse valley in anticline located in northern east of behbahan hasbeen use of with the some of topographical and geomogical maps aerial photos andvarious stage of observation and tried to clean the ocean of construction of this tang inwhich the recent formation of certase ocean and eligomiocean accompanied withquantry allulim. Based on the hypothesis of common hypothesis about the progress ofconstructing the tang in takab transverse valley is becom the involve and cosversationwhich are considened to the cause of changes. The changes of this wide surfaces ofmount zagros .in the end there is no need of conclusion and resulting in anymechanisem incidents on constructing. In another word it is possible to say that incostructing of takab transverse valley not only a certain progress but multiple progressare taking part. Manuscript profile

        In this paper the geometrical relationship of the folds which exist in the Folded Zagros Mountains, including Asef Mountain (northern Iran), were studied. The southern and western zones of the Zagros Mountains are called the Folded Zagros. These zones extend approximately 1,375 km in length with a width ranging from 120 to 250 km. Asef Mountain is located in northern Shiraz (from northern Sarda to the vicinity of Zarghan) and is part of the southwestern zone of the Folded Zagros. In this area, Cenozoic formations are folded due to the effects of the tectonic process. This study was done in order to identify these folding features. The results of this research indicate that the axial surface of the folding has a dominant northwest-southeast trend which does not conform to the general trend of the Zagros. The folds are placed into the classes: upright gently plunging, steeply inclined gently plunging, steeply inclined moderately plunging, upright moderately plunging, upright sub horizontal, moderately inclined sub horizontal and moderately inclined gently plunging with respect to their geometry and floating divisions (Fluety,1964), on the basis of axial surface and hinge line trends of the Cenozoic formations. Additionally, these folds are categorized in close and open fold classes on the basis of limb inclination (Fluety, 1964). Manuscript profile

        3 - Morphotectonic Study in Tange Boragh Basin
        Abdol Majid Asadi
        The axis of Mollasadra dam of x=604171 and y=3390531 at 39 zone is located near Sedeh village in Tange Boragh basin 125 km far from northwest of Shiraz.Three morphometric indices, namely the VF, Mountain Front Sinuosity and hypsometric integration Index have been measur More
        The axis of Mollasadra dam of x=604171 and y=3390531 at 39 zone is located near Sedeh village in Tange Boragh basin 125 km far from northwest of Shiraz.Three morphometric indices, namely the VF, Mountain Front Sinuosity and hypsometric integration Index have been measured in different parts of the catchment area in order to reveal the tectonic activities. Analysis of the obtained data shows an increase of tectonics around the dam. The Mountain Front Sinuosity increases from 1.1 to 3.1.Results show the studied area is active in the view of tectonic activity and it is located at group 2 in active tectonic classify.
