A statistical search for detection of possible rigid blocks in the Arabia-Eurasia oblique collision zone (Iran)

In this research an investigation has been done to determine the possible more rigid blocks in the region of Iran based on the Euler pole estimations. An initial pattern of the existing blocks has been constructed by the information gathered from the available related documents to be the start point...
