Abstract:Most of the drainage networks of this region are located on trend of faults. The faults of this region are classified to 5 groups; each group has faults with specified and similar trend and mechanism. Fault bundles of the region include Y, R, R’, P and T. Faults of Type T are normal faults with elastic mechanism. The rocks have been drawn down on the trend of these faults; so they are suitable place for creation of river bed. By calculation of sinuosity of northeast and southwest mountain fronts of the region and ratio of valley floor width of the streams flowing in the region to their wall height (Vf), it was specified that this region is active in terms of uplift and tectonics. The streams have deep valley. Tectonic activity in northeast front is more active than southwest mountain front.
