Determining seismotectonic provinces based on seismicity coefficients in Iran

In other words, the borderlines of the seismotectonic provinces are calculated based on the numbers and magnitudes of the earthquakes in specific ranges of location and time. A comprehensive map is developed for the seismotectonic provinces in Iran according to the mentioned parameters as well. Based on this map, the region is divided into eleven major seismotectonic provinces and three subzones. The position of each seismotectonic province demonstrates a good compatibility with the geologic and tectonic situation of the region.
