The Zagros Fold Belt represents one of the most extensive active deformation corridors on Earth. Its scale, continuity, and structural organization make it a valuable system for comparative geological investigation.
This framework evaluates the Zagros corridor through fold-belt continuity, fault persistence, topographic organization, basin interaction, deformation intensity, and regional geological support.
Reference observations include the Simply Folded Belt, High Zagros Belt, foreland basin systems, regional thrust structures, and associated deformation provinces.
The objective is to establish whether the Zagros corridor functions as a coherent geological pathway across multiple scales of observation.
Within ABC Sequencing, the Zagros serves as a large-scale natural laboratory for evaluating continuity, persistence, and structural organization.
The framework emphasizes observable geometry, measurable deformation, and comparative geological analysis.
This paper formalizes the Zagros Fold Belt as a measurable deformation corridor and evaluates its continuity across multiple geological scales.
