Abstarct: The study area is located in the Northern part of Eastern Alborz. This area located in the golestan province in 45 km South East of Azadshahr city. In this area paleozioc, mezozoic and Mesozoic formation affected by folding and faulting tectonic activity. The faults that their strikes are northeast-southwest such as Tilabad, Zardabeh , F1 and F2 have left lateral reverse mechanism. Transverse faults in the region are in two groups. Faults with an almost north - south strike-slip mechanism and handle faults left on NW - SE also have a right-lateral mechanism. This geometrical arrangement and kinematics of faults is compatible with regional left lateral transpression. baxsed on interlimb angle of fold (Fleuty 1964), most of the fold have taken place in open field and with less frequently is gentle, Close and Tight. baxsed on the dip of axial plane and plunge of hinge line, the studied fold are classified into two domains: 1- Upright – Gently Plunging, 2- Steeply Inclined - Gently Plunging. Classification of Folds in the region, according to ricard in the classes (Upright Fold) and (Inclined Fold) are placed. Geomorphologic features of studied area highly affected by tectonic elements such as folds and faults.
