| Abstract: | Volcanic rocks in Iran have been subdivided into three geographical groups: a belt extending from Maku district to Bazman, the Alborz Mountains, and East Iran. The average composition of the volcanic rocks is andesitic, although other rock types such as dacite, basalt and alkaline rocks have also been reported. In Iran, as elsewhere, the volcanics can be related to tectonic events (orogenic movements or laulting) and to the modern plate tectonics. |
