“…While GPS-derived surface velocity field can provide clues on the plate motion directions and the pattern of the associated large-scale asthenospheric flow (by assuming a coupling of the lithosphere motion to the asthenospheric flow), the lateral gradient of the velocity field, as a measure of surface strain field, can offer insights into the lithospheric deformation (by assuming a vertically coherent deformation). The availability of a relatively uniform and extensive archive of geodetic data across the Iranian Plateau 19 provides the opportunity to examine the correlation between the pattern of seismic anisotropy, plate motion velocities and surface strain fields. For this purpose, we compare the interpolated anisotropy pattern (red bars) with GPS velocities and horizontal strain rates from Khorrami et al 19 and the lithospheric thickness map of Priestley and McKenzie 5 .…”

“…Whereas earthquake slip vectors show the relative motion between the blocks on either side of the fault, GPS vectors show the motion of the measured point with respect to the chosen reference frame. We transformed the Eurasian-fixed GPS velocities (Khorrami et al, 2019) using the rotation pole between Eurasia and Arabia in the ITRF2008 reference frame (Altamimi et al, 2012) to illustrate the GPS velocities relative to the Arabian Plate ( Figure 7).…”

“…Global positioning system (GPS) measurements show that the Arabian plate is currently moving northward relative to Eurasia at a rate of ∼22 mm yr −1 at Bahrain longitude (Khorrami et al., 2019; Masson et al., 2007; Vernant et al., 2004). In northeastern Iran, north to the sinistral Doruneh fault system (DFS), a total of ∼5 mm yr −1 N‐S shortening is accommodated across the Kopeh Dagh, Alborz‐Binalud, and Sabzevar zone (Khorrami et al., 2019; Masson et al., 2007; Mousavi et al., 2013; Vernant et al., 2004). Thick‐skinned crustal deformation and related uplift of the Kopeh Dagh probably have begun after ca.…”
