Building the Zagros collisional orogen: timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence
The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …
