| Summary: | The Babol-Kenar earthquake (9tli August, 1971) was a<br />relatively minor event compared to previous catastrophic earthquakes in<br />the Central Alborz mountains of northern Iran. It's study however, is<br />important for the understanding of the seismicity of a region which has<br />already experienced two large earthquakes during this century and which<br />could be entering a phase of renewed seismic activity. The p a t t e r n deduced<br />from the sequence of all recorded earthquakes in the region outlines the<br />structural units of the Central Alborz and suggests the existence of seismotectonic<br />provinces which are alternatively active and quiescent. |
