THE NORTH ANATOLIAN FAULT ZONE : NEW INTERPRETATION AS A PALEO-BENIOFF ZONE

Year 1975, Volume: 84 Issue: 84, 112 - 118, 01.01.1975

Abstract

In the light of evidences presented herein, the North Anatolian Fault does not have the characteristic features of a transform fault but is rather a suture belt formed by collision of the Anatolian sub-plate with the Eastern Pontid Island Arc, movement of which today results in a right-lateral strike-slip fault at the surface.

KUZEY ANADOLU FAY ZONU BİR PALEO-BENIOFF ZONU OLABİLİR Mİ?

Year 1975, Volume: 84 Issue: 84, 112 - 118, 01.01.1975

Abstract

Bu yazıda sunulan verilerin ışığı altında Anadolu plakacığı, kuzeyde ve güneyde bir çift Benioff zonuyle sınırlanmıştır. Bugün Güneydoğu Anadolu'daki büyük bindirme, bir kıta-kıta çarpışması ve kıtalar arasındaki kenar denizin yutulmasıyle; Kuzey Anadolu Fayı kırılma zonu ise, bir kıta-ada yayı çarpışması sonucu yutulan kenar deniz tabanlarının Benioff zonlarında batmasıyle oluşmuşlardır.
