Structural data obtained from fault surfaces in the Bozburun Peninsula, southwest Türkiye indicate that the previously known active normal faults are indeed strike-slip structures. The configuration of left- and right-lateral strike-slip segments and lineaments observed from high-resolution satellite images, plus the evaluation of available focal mechanism solutions of the earthquakes having less than 30 km depth around Bozburun Peninsula, show that the study area is under influence of the left-lateral Ptolemy-Pliny-Strabo Fault Zone.

Güneybatı Türkiye’deki Bozburun Yarımadası’nda fay düzlemlerinden elde edilen yapısal veriler, daha önce bilinen diri normal fayların aslında doğrultu atımlı faylar olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Sol ve sağ yanal doğrultu atımlı segmentlerin ve yüksek çözünürlüklü uydu görüntülerinden saptanan çizgiselliklerin dağılımı ve Bozburun Yarımadası çevresinde 30 km’den daha sığ depremlerin odak mekanizması çözümlerinin birlikte değerlendirilmesi, çalışma alanının sol yanal Ptolemy-Pliny-Strabo Fay Zonu etkisinde olduğunu göstermektedir.
