Buildup of a dynamically supported orogenic plateau: Numerical modeling of the Zagros/Central Iran case study

Abstract The Iranian plateau is a vast inland region with a smooth average elevation of c. 1.5 km formed at the rear of the Zagros orogen as a result of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision (i.e., over the last 30–35 Myr). This collision zone is of particular interest due to its disputed resemblance to the...
