Abstract

Makran East-West trend expanded in two countries ofIranandPakistan. The geological characteristics of this zone attract the geologist’s attention from long time ago. The length of this plain is about900 kmand its width is around300 kmthat situated in land. Major studies has been started since 70s and continued by different geologists around the world to the present time. Key studies related to the systematic researches that contain the total area of Makran caused providing the Makran’s geological reports or the Seismic profiles of the seabedOman. In these studies the situation and tectonic position of Makran and also the direction and rate of relative motion of Arabian plate andOmansea to the north becomes clear and has effects on diverse kinds of analysis such as neotechtonics, raised beaches, sediment deformation style, folding and magmatism in Makran. Extent and variety of geological issues on Makran’s studies caused to consider the related researches in six major categories such as “ General studies on geology”, “ Tectonic and structural studies”, “ Geophysical studies”, “ Seismicity studies”, “ Mineral and Hydrocarbon studies” and “Neotectonics and Raised beaches studies”.
