In this study, the interpretation of enhanced Landsat MSS imagery revealed many previously unmapped linea ments and led to the discovery of several formerly undetected active faults responsible for much of the the seismic activity in the southcentral Alborz region. For example, the study showed that the rocks on both sides of major lineaments in the Tuchal-Karaj area are not the same in age and lithology and appear to have been significantly deformed along the fault. This finding suggests that this lineament represents a deep-seated structure rather than a structural break near the surface as is the case for other major lineaments. The detection of lineaments also helped to identify areas that have the potential for discovery of phos phate, providing an accessible source of agricultural fertilizer. The development of this source could be a great step toward the mitigation of Iran's produc tion problems. In addition to mineral identification, Landsat linea ment analysis facilitates the assessment of the risk of damage from earthquakes. Such assessments are essential to providing for the safety and well-being of the area's inhabitants. WORKS CITED Assereto, R. 1966. Geology of Jadjerad and Lar Valley. Univ. of Milan, Milan, Italy.
