Contrasting styles of convergence in the Arabia-Eurasia collision: Why escape tectonics does not occur in Iran
- Abstract:
-
The westward motion of Turkey relative to Eurasia between the North and East Anatolian faults has been cited as one of the best examples of lateral transport of continental crust from a collision zone, in this case the Arabia-Eurasia collision. This process is variously called "escape" or "extrusion" tectonics. Range-parallel strikeslip faults within the Alborz (e.g., the Mosha fault) and Zagros Mountains (the Main Recent fault) of Iran have been regarded as playing roles similar to those of ...
