Mineral And Whole-Rock Geochemistry Of The Kestanbol Granitoid (Ezine-Çanakkale) And Its Mafic Microgranular Enclaves In Northwestern Anatolia: Evidence Of Felsic And Mafic Magma Interaction, Sabah Yilmaz Şahi̇n, Yüksel Örgün, Yildirim Güngör, A. Feti̇ Göker, A. Haydar Gülteki̇n, Zeki̇ye Karacik

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Miocene Kestanbol granitoid, in Ezine-Çanakkale, Turkey, is one of post-collision granitoids of western Anatolia, which have been related to the the late Cretaceous collision between the Anatolide-Tauride platform and the Pontides. Magmatism began during the early Miocene, with coeval alkaline to calc-alkaline plutonism and volcanism, controlled by the regional tectonic evolution. The Kestanbol pluton intruded regionally metamorphosed basement rocks. Volcanic and volcano-clastic sedimentary rocks overlie the pluton, which is bounded in the west and east by major faults. The pluton is frequently cut by felsic and mafic dykes and includes mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) that are mixing products of …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The north of Algeria is the main earthquake-related tsunami generation zone that threatens the Balearic Islands. In this work we review the major seismic series of the area -the 1980 El Asnam and the 2003 Boumerdes-Zemmouri earthquakes– in order to obtain a probable worst characteristic earthquake rupture. We estimate rupture dimensions of 55 km x 16 km, reaching the fault plane a depth of 13 km. The dip and rake have been taken as constants, with values of 50° and 90° respectively, while the strike is adjusted to the local tectonic structure. With these characteristics a magnitude M_w= 7.3 earthquake …

Testing Miocene Remagnetization Of Bey Dağları: Timing And Amount Of Neogene Rotations In Sw Turkey, Douwe J.J. Van Hinsbergen, Mark J. Dekkers, Ayten Koç Jan 2010

Testing Miocene Remagnetization Of Bey Dağları: Timing And Amount Of Neogene Rotations In Sw Turkey, Douwe J.J. Van Hinsbergen, Mark J. Dekkers, Ayten Koç

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Here we reassess the timing and amount of rotation of the eastern limb of the Aegean orocline, located in SW Turkey. The current model for this orocline involves a 25-30° counterclockwise (CCW) rotation of the Bey Dağları region, which exposes upper Cretaceous to Eocene platform carbonates and lower Miocene flysch deposits. In this model the rotation has to postdate a Miocene remagnetization, which would not exclude non-synchroneity between rotations of the western and eastern limbs of the Aegean orocline. To test this model a detailed palaeomagnetic study was conducted on lower Miocene strata in the Bey Dağları area. Two (composite) …


Sensitivity Analysis On Relations Between Earthquake Source Rupture Parameters And Far-Field Tsunami Waves: Case Studies In The Eastern Mediterranean Region, Seda Yolsal, Tuncay Taymaz Jan 2010

Sensitivity Analysis On Relations Between Earthquake Source Rupture Parameters And Far-Field Tsunami Waves: Case Studies In The Eastern Mediterranean Region, Seda Yolsal, Tuncay Taymaz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

We present several sensitivity tests, that were applied to exhibit the effects of earthquake source rupture characteristics on amplitudes, frequency contents and arrival times of earthquake generated tsunami waves in the far field, as case studies in the eastern Mediterranean. The investigated earthquake parameters are principally epicentral location, focal mechanism parameters (strike, dip and rake angles), faulting area dimensions, maximum displacement and focal (centroid) depth. We have implemented a numerical method of TUNAMI-N2 based on non-linear shallow-water theory to obtain synthetic water surface fluctuations at selected pseudo tide gauge locations in the eastern Mediterranean. It has been observed that the …

Tsunami Hazard Assessment On The Southern Coast Of Spain, Mauricio González, Raul Medina, Maitane Olabarrieta, Luis Otero

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

In this study an indirect statistical method has been proposed to estimate the tsunami hazard assessment along the Alborán Sea Coast (Southeastern Spanish Coast). This method can be summarized as: (1) analysis of the global neotectonic setting, including geodynamic processes as well as seismicity of the region; (2) tsunami source model; (3) generation of a numerical data base of tsunami events using a numerical model; (4) probabilistic model based on Monte-Carlo simulations in order to generate a synthetic tsunami catalogue; and (5) a multidimensional interpolation method applied to combine the numerical data base with the synthetic catalogue to produce inundation …


Geochronological Evidence Of Pan-African Eclogites From The Central Menderes Massif, Turkey, Oberhaensli Roland, Osman Candan, Franziska Wilke Jan 2010

Geochronological Evidence Of Pan-African Eclogites From The Central Menderes Massif, Turkey, Oberhaensli Roland, Osman Candan, Franziska Wilke

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Menderes Massif in western Anatolia documents a complex geodynamic history from Precambrian to recent. Eclogitic relics found in metagabbros in the Precambrian basement were dated by the U/Pb method. The zircon age data from granulitic (coronitic) and eclogitic metagabbros is consistent with geological constraints as well as relative and radiometric ages of the host granulitic gneisses and augen gneisses. A Pan-African intrusion age (540 Ma) of the metagabbros and a shortly later eclogite facies event (530 Ma) are inferred. This scenario fits with the geodynamic evolution deduced form the acidic country rocks of the eclogitic metagabbros. Direct links between …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Central Anatolia is quiet in terms of seismic activity, and rarely earthquakes up to magnitude 5.6 occur in the inner part of the Anatolian block or Anatolian platelet. Southeast of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, two earthquake sequences with maximum magnitude of 5.6 occurred in 2005 and 2007. We discuss these shallow crustal deformation in the Anatolian platelet, in the light of seismological data from these earthquakes (M_L= 5.6) and their aftershocks. Following the earthquake of December 20, 2007 near Bala town, Ankara, we installed seven temporary stations in the first 24 hours to observe the aftershock activity and …

Computations Of Ultrasonic Parameters Of Lanthanide Metals Ti, Zr And Hf, Pramod Kumar Yadawa, Dharmendra Kumar Pandey, Devraj Singh, Raja Ram Yadav, Giridhar Mishra Jan 2010

Computations Of Ultrasonic Parameters Of Lanthanide Metals Ti, Zr And Hf, Pramod Kumar Yadawa, Dharmendra Kumar Pandey, Devraj Singh, Raja Ram Yadav, Giridhar Mishra

Turkish Journal of Physics

The ultrasonic properties in the hexagonal structured lanthanide metals Ti, Zr and Hf have been studied at room temperature. The higher order elastic constants have been calculated for these metals using Lennard-Jones Potential for evaluating orientation-dependent ultrasonic properties. An anomalous behaviour in orientation dependent velocity is obtained, which is due to the combined effect of second order elastic constants and density. The achieved ultrasonic properties are compared with known physical parameters to differentiate them from third group nitrides/laves phase compounds.

Sublimation Of Graphite In Continuous And Pulsed Arc Discharges, Afshan Ashraf, Kashif Yaqub, Sumera Javeed, Sumaira Zeeshan, Rahila Khalid, Sohail Ahmad Janjua, Shoaib Ahmad

Turkish Journal of Physics

Sublimation of graphite has been investigated in continuous and pulsed arc discharges. The results of continuous arc discharge between graphite electrodes are compared with pulsed arc discharge between cylindrical Aluminum cathode and annular graphite anode. The sublimed species include monoatomic and diatomic carbon clusters with their relative composition depending upon the mechanism of energy dissipation in graphite electrodes. Diatomic carbon (C_2) is the dominant subliming cluster. Emission spectroscopy of the Swan band system [d^3\prod _g -a^3\prod _u ] of C_2 has been used to investigate the thermodynamic state and to deduce the vibrational temperature (T_{vib}). The vibrational level densities indicate …
