The studied area is located in East of Central Iran Micro continent (CEIM) and East of Dasht-e Lut, were the Nayband fault located as an old index of tectonic structure. The Nayband fault, with a length of 104 km, known as a right lateral slipping fault, and in some parts with a normal dip slip component.Using satellite image processing methods, we can study some structures such as Releasing bends that caused basaltic eruption and some Quaternary volcanic activities and even some outcrops of salt domes along the Nayband fault system. And also the displacement of the channel & its measurement is detected, that shows the new tectonic activity along the Nayband fault system on this area .
