Seismological networks of the Institute of Geophysics of the University of Tehran.Of the total 529 quakes, 8 were more than 4 on the Richter
scale, the largest of which occurred on May 22, with a magnitude of 4.6 in the central province of Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari.Statistically, 463
earthquakes with magnitudes smaller than 3, and 58 earthquakes with magnitudes between 3 to 4 have occurred
At least 8 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4.5 to 5 have occurred in the country.Among the provinces of the country, Khorasan Razavi with 74
earthquakes, Kerman with 53 earthquakes, and Yazd with 51 earthquakes recorded the highest number of earthquakes in the country.Some 2
earthquakes were also recorded in Tehran province, the largest of which was near Robat Karim with a magnitude of 2.3 on the Richter
scale.The Iranian plateau is located in a very seismically active region of the world and is known not only for its major catastrophic
earthquakes but also for the disasters relating to natural hazards, especially earthquakes.About 2 percent of the earthquakes in the world
occur in Iran but more than 6% of the victims of the world earthquakes during the 20th century is reported from Iranian earthquakes
This shows the high level of vulnerability in Iran, according to Mehdi Zare, a professor of engineering seismology.Tehran is also one of the
most hazardous metropolises in the world in terms of the risk of different natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, subsidence,
