Table 5: _Cont._As per [PERSON]'s research [36], higher seismic slip rates have been observed on the western side of the Central Alborz and the west side of the Eastern Alborz depicted. This suggests that the probability of a large earthquake occurring in these regions with high slip rates is higher than in other areas. This observation aligns with the seismic hazard map generated in the current study (Figure 5). Additionally, considering the seismic and geodetic strain, as well as the moment rates from the research [14], it is evident that the Central Alborz region, where major faults such as the North Alborz fault exist, poses a significant seismic hazard. On the one hand, the comparison of the amount and the stress vectors of the dynamic fault structures of the Central Alborz shows a drop in the stress rate and a sudden loss of nearly 1 MM/y from the slip rate seen on eastern faults such as the Astana fault [37].
