Abstract
The modern structure of the Zagros folding-thrust structure was formed under the influence of collision processes on the eastern flank of the collision zone of Eurasia and Arabia. Based on structural-geomorphological analysis and spatio-temporal features of the seismicity distribution, the article considers the features of the latest and modern geodynamic development of Zagros as a classical collision orogen. It is noted that the orogen is at the stage of erosion development, its seismic activation is associated to a greater extent with local deformations within individual blocks and is transformed under the influence of intense man-made impacts associated with the extraction of hydrocarbons within the Mesopotamian Lowland and the Persian Gulf.
