Abstract

Kilikya-Adana ve İskenderun Havzaları
Afrika-Avrasya Levhalarının çarpışma zonu boyunca gelişen Neojen depolanma
alanlarıdır. Doğal yapısından dolayı bu havzalar, geçmişten günümüze birçok
jeolojik ve jeofizik çalışmaya konu olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Pliyo-Kuvaterner
zamanında biriken sediman dağılımları Türkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı’ndan
izinle temin edilen sismik yansıma profillerinin yorumlanmasıyla elde
edilmiştir. Kalınlık haritası önceki çalışmalarda kullanılan 1700 m/sn’lik
ortalama hız ile hesaplanmıştır. 
Yorumlamalar sonucunda, Pliyo-Kuvaterner çökellerin kalınlık
değerlerinin 0-2763 m arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. En yüksek kalınlık
değerleri İskenderun Havzası’nın denizel kesiminde, Asi Nehri açıklarında 2250 m,
Yumurtalık önlerinde 2763 m ve Kilikya Havzası’nın orta kesiminde 2050 m olarak
elde edilmiştir.

THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF PLIO-QUATERNARY SEDIMENT IN CILICIA BASIN

Year 2019, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 40 - 45, 25.03.2019

Abstract

The Cilicia-Adana and İskenderun
basins are the Neogene depocenters developed along the Africa-Eurasia plate
convergence zone. From past to present these basins have been subject of
numerous geological and geophysical studies, due to their natural structure. In
this study, the distributions of sediments accumulated during the
Plio-Quaternary in the basin were interpreted from the seismic reflection data
that obtained with permission from the Turkish Petroleum Corporation. Thickness
map was prepared with the average velocity of 1700 m/s based on previous
studies. According to the interpretation results, the thickness of
Plio-Quaternary sediments in the basin ranges from 0 to 2763 m.  The highest thickness values ​​are obtained as
2250 m in the onshore of Iskenderun Basin, offshore of Asi River, 2763 m in
coast of Yumurtalık and 2050 m in the centre of Cilicia Basin.
