MODELLING OF CRUST STRUCTURE OF CENTRAL ANATOLIA REGION

Abstract

In this study, the crustal structure of Central Anatolia was modeled and the crustal and tectonic structure of the region was investigated. For this purpose, the filtered satellite gravity data were evaluated with the Parker-Oldenburg modelling algorithm and the first vertical derivative data were evaluated with the total horizontal derivative technique. While investigating the structural discontinuities of the region at the basement levels, the maximum amplitudes of the horizontal derivative map were used. With the total horizontal derivative map, new discontinuities were found in the basement levels in the study area. The descending and rising parts of the crustal interface topographies were determined using the Parker-Oldenburg modelling algorithm. In order to carry out these operations, first of all, the gravity data was filtered according to the shear wave numbers. Besides the new lineaments found, the depths of the calculated interface topographies are determined as 1.4 - 3.6 km for soft - hard sediment, 3.8 - 7.2 km for basement, 15.5 - 22.5 km for Conrad, 30.5 - 39.5 km for Moho and 81.4 - 88.5 km for LAB, respectively.
