investigation of seismotectonics of makran region using local network data

Makran subduction zone is situated at the se of the iranian plateau and is formed as a consequence of subduction of arabian plate beneath central iran (e.g. farhudi and karig, 1977; penney et al., 2017). from the pattern of sparse seismicity in the region, penny et al. (2017) inferred a maximum average dip of subduction of ~11˚ in the west makran. however, from a recent receiver function analysis along a profile in the west makran, mokhtarzadeh et al. (2018) showeda very low angle subducting plate of ~3˚ for the distance between the oman sea coastlines to the edge of jazmurian depression and then a more dipping plate of 12.5˚ north of the jazmurian depression.
