Abstract

Bu çalışmada Burdur güneyinde yer alan Burdur ve Yarışlı havzalarının jeomorfolojik indislerle tektonik aktivitesinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yörede Jura- Kretase yaşlı ofiyolitik melanj, Geç Triyas – Erken Jura yaşlı rekristalize kireçtaşları, Geç Miyosen - Erken Pliyosen yaşlı killi kireçtaşları ve Geç Pliyosen - Kuvaterner yaşlı alüvyal yelpaze çökelleri gibi değişik kökenli kayaçlar bulunmaktadır. İnceleme alanı Fethiye – Burdur Fay Zonu (FBFZ)’ nun KD kesimini kapsamaktadır. Tarihsel ve aletsel dönemde birçok deprem oluşturan FBFZ bu kesimde, KD-GB uzanımlı Burdur, Karakent, Karacaören fayları ve KB-GD uzanımlı Karaçal Fayı ile temsil edilmektedir. Söz konusu fayların yanı sıra bölgede küçük ölçekli birçok fay bulunmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmada bölgenin tektonik aktvitesini belirlemek için Dağ Yamacı Eğrilik İndisi (Smf), Vadi Taban Genişliği – Vadi Yüksekliği Oranı İndeksi (Vf), Normalleştirilmiş Akarsu Uzunluk – Eğri İndisi (SLK), Asimetri Faktörü (AF), Topografi Simetri Faktörü (T), ve Göreceli Aktif Tektonik İndeksi (Iat) gibi birçok değer hesaplanmış ve bunlar arazi verileri ile beraberce değerlendirilerek yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Smf 1,03-1,66, ortalama Vf 0,28-10,85, ortalama SLK 1,84-7,95, T 0-0,6 arasında değişmektedir. Burdur Havzası’na ait AF değeri 60,14 iken alt alanlara ait Iat değerleri ise Sınıf-2 ve Sınıf-3 ü kapsamaktadır. Jeomorfik indisler diğer jeolojik bulguları doğrular şekilde inceleme alanının yüksek ve orta seviyede tektonik bir aktiviteye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Investigation of Relative Tectonic Activity of the Northeastern Part of the Fethiye Burdur Fault Zone (Burdur-Southwestern Anatolia) by Geomorphic Indices

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the tectonic activity with geomorphological indices within Burdur and Yarışlı Basins in the south of Burdur. The study area consists of Jurassic– Cretaceous ophiolitic melange, Late Triassic-Early Jurassic recrystallized limestone, Late Miocene – Early Pliocene marl and clayed limestone and Late Pliocene – Early Pleistocene alluvial fan deposit. The study area covers the NE section of the Fethiye - Burdur Fault Zone (FBFZ). The FBFZ, which caused many earthquakes in historical and instrumental periods, is represented by NE-SW trending Burdur, Karakent, Karacaören faults and NW-SE trending Karaçal fault. In addition there are many small scale faults in the area. In order to determine the tectonic activity of the region, some geomorphological indices such as Mountain-Front Sinuosity (Smf), Ratio of Valley-Floor Width to Valley Height (Vf), Normalized Stream Length – Gradient Index (SLK), Asymmetry Factor (AF), Topographic Symmetry Factor (T), and Index of relative active tectonics (Iat) were calculated. The obtained data were compared with the field observations. According to the results, Smf ranges between 1.03-1.66, average Vf ranges between 0.28-10.85, average SLK ranges between 1.84-7.95 and T ranges between 0-0.6. The AF value of Burdur Basin is 60,14 whereas the Iat values of sub-areas cover Class-2 and Class-3. Geomorphic indices, confirming the other geological findings, show that the study area has moderate to high level tectonic activity.
