The 45-km-long, E-W to NW-SE-striking Manisa Fault Zone, which constitutes the western section of the Gediz Graben, is characterized by a pure normal sense of motion with a minor strike-slip component. Even though there are numerous historical earthquakes have been listed in Western Anatolia Graben System, a few studies have been addressed on seismic sources of the earthquakes so far. According to existing literature, the western segment of the Manisa Fault Zone is well known characterized; however, the eastern segment of it has rarely been addressed. To decipher the Holocene seismotectonic behavior of the eastern segment of Manisa Fault Zone, …

The southern part of the Western Anatolia Extensional Province is governed by E-W-trending horst-graben systems and NW-SE-oriented active faults. The NW-striking Yatağan Fault is characterised by an almost pure normal sense of motion with a minor dextral strike slip component. Although the settlements within the area have been affected by several earthquake events since ancient times (~2000 BCE), the earthquake potential and history of the Yatağan Fault has remained unknown until a few years ago. Considering the growing dense population within the area, paleoseismology studies were conducted in order to illuminate the historical earthquake activity on the Yatağan Fault. Two …
Alaşehir Type - Rolling Hinge Mechanism In The Northern Margin Of Büyük Menderes Graben: Evidence From Seismic Reflection And Recent Thermochronological Data, Fevzi̇ Mert Türesi̇n, Gürol Seyi̇toğlu
Alaşehir Type - Rolling Hinge Mechanism In The Northern Margin Of Büyük Menderes Graben: Evidence From Seismic Reflection And Recent Thermochronological Data, Fevzi̇ Mert Türesi̇n, Gürol Seyi̇toğlu
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Isotopic and thermochronological data were recently obtained from the footwall of the Büyük Menderes detachment ranges from 29.0 ± 1.9 Ma (ZFT) to 1.6 ± 0.2 Ma (Ap U - Th / He), and they can be grouped in three different time intervals. These results are well explained by the Alaşehir type-rolling hinge mechanism, which suggests active rotated initial normal fault during successive normal fault development of the graben formation. This paper suggests that the Alaşehir type-rolling hinge mechanism is applicable to the Büyük Menderes graben by using field observations, published isotopic / thermochronological and subsurface data. It also contributes …

Knowledge of heat flow density on the Earth's surface and subsurface temperature distribution is essential for the interpretation of several processes in the crust such as for the evaluation of the geothermal potential of a region. With this study, we investigate the conductive heat flow distribution in western Anatolia to understand the thermal state and its relationship to regional tectonics in the region. The new heat flow data are collected and combined with previously published data to obtain the new heat flow map of western Anatolia. Analysis of data sets after appropriate corrections yields a better picture of the regional …
