Iran is an ideal natural laboratory for studying the kinematics and dynamics of plate interactions because of the various tectonic processes encountered, including continental collision, subduction of oceanic lithosphere (Makran) and a sharp transition between a young orogen (Zagros) and a subduction zone (Makran). In this research, tectonic evolution of Iranian Plateau during Cenozoic convergence between Arabian and Eurasian plates is reviewed and youngest tectonic activities in the plateau such as active faults, earthquakes, magmatism, and young volcanism and GPS velocities are described. Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines that cover at least 90% of the country. These earthquakes occurred along the active faults of Iran and show various mechanisms of fault movements.
