Abstract

Doğu Anadolu Platosu’nda yer alan havzalardan biri olan Van Gölü Havzası, sınırları içerisinde dünyanın en büyük soda gölü olan Van Gölü’nü bulundurmaktadır. Bu havza, Geç Pliyosen’de oluşmuş ve Kuvaterner’de etkili olan volkanizma ile son şeklini almıştır. Van Gölü Havzası’nda Kuvaterner yaşlı kumlu-siltli gölsel çökellerde çeşitli deformasyon yapıları bulunmaktadır. Pekişmemiş sedimanlarda sıvılaşma ya da akışkanlaşma sonucu oluşan bu deformasyon yapıları; büklümlü yapılar (basit-karma büklümlü yapılar ve top-yastık yapıları), su kaçış yapıları (tabak ve sütun yapıları) ve yük yapıları (alev yapısı) olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılır. Deformasyon yapıları üst basınç, fırtına kökenli dalgalar, yeraltısuyu seviyesindeki ani değişimler ve sismik sarsıntılarla oluşabilmektedir. Arazi gözlemleri, bölgesel tektonik ve sedimantolojik veriler ile konuyla ilgili önceki çalışmalar değerlendirildiğinde, bu deformasyon yapılarının sismik sarsıntılarla oluştuğu ve sismit olarak adlandırılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Van Gölü Havzası’nda gölsel çökellerde farklı seviyelerde sismitlerin yaygın olarak gözleniyor olması, bölgenin Kuvaterner’de aktif bir tektonizmaya sahip olduğunu göstermesinin yanı sıra, bölgede 5 ve üzeri büyüklüklerde depremlerin sıklıkla meydana geldiğinin bir göstergesidir
