摘要：Tectonic plates are constantly moving. Thus, determining the location of the regions with earthquake potential has always been the geologists challenge. One of the new methods which follow observations of tectonic movements and earthquakes is the application of the knowledge of tectonic geomorphology. Studying and measuring landscapes and forms made by active tectonics is one of the objects of morphologic science. Active tectonic movements in a region are recorded in the morphology of rivers, drainages, alluvial fans and mountain fronts. The rivers respond to active tectonic movements, so the study of these phenomena can have an important role in locating the active tectonic regions. Ghareh Aghaj River originates from North East of Kazeroon in Fars province and flows into Persian Gulf while passing Bushehr province. This river is in the folded Zagros zone. Tadvan region in the South West of Iran has responded to ongoing tectonic deformation and has shown some geomorphological features. Due to Arabian–Eurasian collision the uplift and lateral tilting occurred in the study area, and they are manifested in avulsion, truncated streams and oriented drainage network. Such geomorphic features have been identified on the satellite images and interpreted through DEM and field observations. The fluvial features in the study area show uplift in one side of Ghareh Aghaj River which has caused lateral tilting in the area.
