Abstract
Determination of tectonic setting and situation of salt domes in Central Iran is the main purpose of this study. Central Iran is a triangle zone that is bounded by Alborz and Zagros Mountains. According to age and geological setting of evaporitic deposits revealed by field work method, diapiric provinces of Central Iran have been determined and delineated from each other. The location and general trend of the six diapiric provinces are mapped from the border zones of Central Iran by investigation of ETM+ satellite images. Also, based on the shape and orientation investigations of salt domes, tectonic processes (external trigger) are predominant compared to halokinesis (internal trigger) in Central Iran.
