Two-dimensional inversion was applied to magnetotelluric transfer functions and magnetovariational responses corresponding to 38 long-period simultaneously observed sites. Input data for the inversion procedure were created by rotating all transfer functions to strike direction obtained from strike and dimensionality analysis. The results show a thick sedimentary cover, several crustal inhomogeneities and a deep conductive structure below the center of the TESZ. In order to achieve a stable model, several sensitivity analysis were carried out. %U https://jesphys.ut.ac.ir/article_21986_33cf0ec8e4e4910aeac341387d1b6d81.pdf
