Abstract
The full acceptance of the notion of planar tectonics over the last 20 years has led to justification of many of the most complex geological problems that had often been associated with great difficulties. In general, earthquake movements in Iran, which are closely connected with the reoccurrence of movement of existing active faults, can be divided into four main groups, from which we will deal here only with the mechanism of earthquakes of the southern Caspian plates.
