Iran is exposed to frequent earthquakes as a result of its occurrence in a collision zone between tectonic plates located directly beneath the Earth’s crust.
The deadliest of these was a 7.7-magnitude earthquake that occurred in the northwest of the country in 1990, leaving 37,000 dead and 100,000 injured.
