  The Quchan fault is located in Quchan - Shirvan area which is a part of Chenaran- Bojnourd plain in Kopeh-Dagh zone, NE Iran. The Quchan active fault with northwest – southeast trending is one of the most important strike-slip faults in the area which its activity led to the numerous historical and instrumental earthquakes. The Neo-tectonic activities of this fault are investigated by the drainage patterns, displacement of the waterways, the impact on the alluvial fan deposits and the Quaternary sediments cutting. Here, we aim to employ instrumental seismicity along with satellite imagery data, thermal images, shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) data plus field observations to explain the mechanism and active tectonics of the southeast Quchan fault termination. Processing Landsat-8 image synchronous with the maximum micro-seismic occurrences reveals that thermal anomaly is positive and corresponds to the major lineaments. Thermal anomaly images have also revealed three hidden faults which have not yet been distinguished in the field surveys. The continuous strike slip activity of the Quchan fault over the time resulted in the formation of compression zone and new thrusts along the southeastern end. By continuance of thrust activity, the anticline starts to accrete and the older thrusts are covered with folding sedimentary rocks, thus thrust loader continues until now. This research is the first successful attempt in Iran to detect hidden active faults and investigate fault termination by employing satellite thermal surveys. Manuscript profile

  Solid waste burying is the last option in solid waste management. In this regard, the main objective is the safe and long-term disposal of solid waste with consideration of environmental and health aspects. Various variables should be considered in the location. Therefore, identification of ways to achieve this goal is necessary and necessary. The present research was carried out to determine the environmental location of urban waste landfills in Quchan city using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy model, GIS (Geographical Information System (GIS)) using Expert Choice software. . In this research, the layers necessary for the location of 12 layers including geological maps, soil study, land use, slope of the area, topography, the location of villages, urban areas, surface water and underground waters, direction The dominant winds, roads and faults were collected and then, based on landfill landfill criteria, the layers were scored and weighed. The maps after the final weighting obtained from the hierarchical process were combined and the final map was extracted. Based on the final map of the fuzzy logic model and hierarchical analysis, 46% are in prohibited areas, 8% have inappropriate conditions, 24% have moderate conditions, 14% have good conditions, and 8% have very good conditions. Two Its area is suitable and very suitable and is located in the southwest. In these areas, the groundwater level is low and the lithology of the area is tuff dacity and latite. Manuscript profile

   But in some cases due to the inability forced the princes to rule some areas such as Northern Khorasan (which is a combination of social and population) to the Heads of State and the Khans and the tribes were deposited. So that Quchan government (except for short) is always the beginning of the reign of the Qajar dynasty Zfranlvha and Raza Khan and their children and their Amyrgvnh Qlykhan boy named Brave Dawla Quchan long the kingdom and its surrounding areas of interest and support Qajar kings and courts have been.  Thus, despite the importance of special political Quchan border provinces - geographic area of influence and direct the court of Qajar princes were still around. While the rulers and rebellious spirits independence and rebellion of children and dependents to governors Quchan important events in the border region that is provided.  One of the major events in Quchan Nasser era, Rebellion Hsynqly Khan's son, Reza Qlykhan Zfranlv shortly Quchan government in 1281 and was finally suppressed by Hossam became regent.  This causes the appearance and manner, and finally the formation of the then governor of Khorasan regent Hossam Ghaylh with emphasis on reporting and analysis has been investigated.
