Subduction and Slab Detachment in the Mediterranean-Carpathian Region
M. J. R. Wortel,Wim Spakman +1 more
TL;DR: Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric processes governing its geodynamical evolution.

Tectonics of the zagros orogenic belt of iran - new data and interpretations
TL;DR: The Zagros orogenic belt of Iran is the result of the opening and closure of the Neo-Tethys oceanic realm, and consists, from northeast to southwest, of three parallel tectonic subdivisions: 1) the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage; 2. (2) the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone; and 3. (3) the zagros simply folded belt.

Stefan M. Schmid,Daniel Bernoulli,Bernhard Fügenschuh,Liviu Matenco,Senecio Schefer,Ralf Schuster,Matthias Tischler,Kamil Ustaszewski +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation of tectonic units of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic system of orogens, including the substrate of the Pannonian and Transylvanian basins, is presented in the form of a map.

TL;DR: A network of 27 GPS sites was implemented in Iran and northern Oman to measure displacements in this part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain belt as mentioned in this paper, and the results of two surveys performed in 1999 September and 2001 October.

Tethyan evolution of Turkey: A plate tectonic approach
TL;DR: The Karakaya marginal sea was already closed by earliest Jurassic times because early Jurassic sediments unconformably overlie its deformed lithologies as discussed by the authors, and it was closed by collision of the Bitlis-Poturge fragment with Arabia.

Towards a paleogeography and tectonic evolution of Iran
TL;DR: In this paper, maps of the paleography of Iran are presented to summarize and review the geological evolution of the Iranian region since late Precambrian time on the basis of the data presented in this way reconstructions of the region have been prepared that take account of the known major movements of continental masses.

Structural History and Tectonics of Iran: A Review
TL;DR: The structural development of the Iranian ranges has certain peculiarities which contradict the conventional geosynclinal theory of mountain building as mentioned in this paper, and the conventional tripartite division of Iran into an extensive median mass and two bordering ranges of geosyclinal origin (Zagros, Alborz) cannot be maintained.
