Low fault friction in Iran implies localized deformation for the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone

The GPS velocity field of the present-day deformation in Iran is modeled using a 3-dimensional (3D) finite element approach. The deformation can be accommodated either by a continuum medium or by faults which are modeled using discontinuities with Coulomb-failure criteria. Depending on the fault fri...
