Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The Tuz Gölü Fault Zone (TGFZ) is one of the most important active intra-continental fault zones in central Anatolia. The TGFZ with nearly 200 km in length and 2-25 km in width is a NW trending, active normal fault zone with minor right-lateral strike-slip component. It extends between the north of Lake Tuz at NW and at Kemerhisar (Ni¤de) SE. This zone is a transition zone that separates the Central Anatolian Neotectonic Region into two-sub neotectonic regions, namely Kayseri-Sivas and Konya-Eskiflehir neotectonic regions. In this study, Neotectonicperiod characteristics, seismicity, geometry and segmentation of TGFZ are investigated. TGFZ is composed of …
