Abstract :
The asymmetric ENE WNW trending Inehvarzan - Dalichai anticline that is located in the East of -Damavand city and on the East of Central Alborz. This anticline consists of late Precambrian -Paleozoic - Mesozoic sediments. North limb of this anticline is confined to the Dehnar Mosha fault -and southern branch of this fault. South limb anticline is limited to the several secondary faults.Morphotectonic investigations including geomorphic indexes, e.g. Smf, Facet%, Af, Vf, fordetermination of the relative tectonics activity class of this anticline are carried out. The analysis ofthese indices demonstrates that North limb anticline is more active than the South limb.
