According to the professor of International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering, the Natanz region is affected by the Qom-Zafra fault system, and archaeological research shows that Silk civilization has been destroyed by a large earthquake.
According to RCO News Agency, The first day of the year began with a large earthquake in Natanz in Isfahan province. The earthquakes of 1.2 were at a depth of 2 kilometers and 1.5 at a depth of 2 kilometers were other seismic events in the area. Isfahan province also trembled with an earthquake of 1.5.
The tremors continued in the second week of April; The area trembled with earthquakes of 1.5 km depth, 1.2 at a depth of 2 kilometers and 2 at a depth of 2 kilometers.
Dr. Mehdi Zare, Professor of International Earthquake Engineering and Earthquake Engineering Research, in a video message, referring to the earthquakes of Natanz Isfahan province from April 1, said: “The earthquakes of this area from the last year to April 5 shows that the highest seismic area is related to the north of the area. The earthquakes have been reduced.
He said that the area is affected by the Qom-Zazaa fault system, adding: “Each component of this fault has different names in Qom, Kashan and Natanz areas.” The system passes through the city of Qom and continues to Kashan, and in some maps this fault system is in the northwest of Kashan as the Ravand fault, and in Kashan the ancient Silk Hill is affected by part of the Qom-Zaza fault.
Zare continued: Archaeological researchers show that about the third millennium BC, a major earthquake may have destroyed the silk hill and destroyed the silk civilization.
Professor of the International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering noted: The wrapping of this fault system passes through the south of the Natanz area and is drawn to the city of Zafara in the east of Isfahan and the Zafar fault reaches the Kashan fault. The system has a northern-south process with 2 kilometers.
The seismology researcher said that the Qom-Zazar fault system has 4 main pieces, adding: The southern piece of Zafar, which passes through Natanz and Zafar, has a long level of 2 kilometers and seems to be able to seismic capability of 1 to 2.5.
Zare noted: The trend of the Zafar fault is likely to cause seismic events in Natanz in April this year.
He pointed to the recent earthquakes in the area: One year before the April earthquake, Natanz, on April 5, 2008, showing that this compressive fault is an active process and answers to questions such as whether the earthquake occurs and what the recursive period is in accordance with the scrutiny of the earthquake. Should be done with careful research.
Zare emphasized: It should be noted that the faults of the central Iran and the central desert plain of Iran are stressful over long intervals and lately it releases this stress; Therefore, the major, major and severe earthquakes occur late late, an example of which is the large Bam earthquake, which occurred after a seismic silence of about 6,000 years. This is one of the features of central Iran’s faults.
