The purpose of this study was to examine the geological, strati- graphic and organic geochemical features of the Küçükkuyu Formation out- cropping on Biga Peninsula, NW Turkey. The Lower-Middle Miocene forma- tion crops out around the Gulf of Edremit and near Bayramiç-Çan in the north of the Kazdağ Mountains. The unit is composed of shale, siltstone and sandstone intercalations. The shale is bituminous and represents a potential source rock in the region. Shale samples from the formation were investigated. Rock-Eval pyrolysis, vitrinite reflectance (Ro %), gas chromatography (GC), stable C isotope and total sulfur measurements were carried out. The shale is characterized by high total organic carbon (TOC) values (0.27 to 7.44 wt%, average 1.69 wt%), indicating a good potential source rock. The kerogen types are II and III, indicating the shale to be gas and oil-prone. Tmax values are between 352 and 453 °C, the average value suggesting early catagenesis. The pristane/ phytane (Pr/Ph) values reveal suboxic and anoxic environments. Carbon preference index (CPI) and C isotope values reveal terrestrial OM. Geological and stratigraphic evaluations and total sulfur (TS) figures indicate that the Küçükkuyu Formation was deposited in a suboxic-anoxic, freshwater environment (lacustrine), developing brackish water conditions from time to time.

For centuries, inhabitants of coastal areas have suffered from the effects of tsunamis. Turkey, with a coastline of 8333 km, has experienced many tsunamis. Historical records reveal that, during the observation period over 3000 years, the coastal and surrounding areas of Turkey have been affected by more than ninety tsunamis. These tended to cluster around the Marmara Sea, the city of Istanbul and the gulfs of Izmit, Izmir, Fethiye and Iskenderun. Each of the tsunami occurrences surveyed in this paper deserves further individual study. The most extensive available information concerns the tsunamis associated with the Istanbul Earthquakes of 1509 and 1894, the Eastern Mar- mara Earthquake in 1963 and that of Izmit in 1999, which disturbed the Marmara Sea; the Earthquake of 1939 in Erzincan in eastern Anatolia; and the 1968 Bartın Earthquake, which affected Fatsa and Amasra on the Black Sea.

The unusual morphology of these foraminifera, “improbable” and rare, is mysterious clues to the natural survival of such organisms. Environmental conditions such as temperature and trace elements may play an important role in stimulating such unusual test occurrences. Warm-water sources in deep-sea environments carry rare trace elements that cause unusual appearances of benthic foraminifera during reproduction.

  • Stress Coupling Between Earthquakes in Northwest Turkey and the North Aegean Sea
    Stress Coupling Between Earthquakes in Northwest Turkey and the North Aegean Sea Süleyman S. Nalbant Geophysics Department, Engineering Faculty, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey Aurélia Hubert and Geoffrey C. P. King Laboratoire de Tectonique et Mécanique de la Lithosphère (UMR 7578 CNRS), Institut de Physique du Globe, Paris Abstract. We have investigated the Coulomb stress interactions of 29 earthquakes (Ms ³ 6.0) that have occurred in the region of northwest Turkey and north Aegean Sea since 1912. Of these events, 23 may be related to earlier events, and 16 are clearly related to earlier events. All events after 1967 are related to previous events. Events in the early part of our time interval that show no correlation could be related to historical events as yet unidentified. In some cases, faults that have received a stress reduction from earlier events are prepared for an event by an earthquake occurring a few years before that creates a local Coulomb stress rise. Thus regions of Coulomb stress shadow can become regions where a damaging earthquake may occur. The relation between smaller events and the Coulomb stress distribution is less clear, but may be related to poor data quality and practical limitations of our modeling technique. Nonetheless, there are 4 times as many events per unit area in regions of enhanced stress than where stress is reduced. We discuss the contemporary distribution of Coulomb stress and argue that it is possible to identify the likely locations of future damaging earthquakes including identifying the most likely candidate faults. 1. Introduction Over the last 5 years a series of papers have been published that investigate how earthquakes transfer stress.

  • Chap03.PDF 3 Tectonics and Seismicity of Marmara Region(648
    3 TECTONICS AND SEISMICITY OF MARMARA REGION 3.1 Tectonics Ketin (1973) initiated the first studies on the tectonic evolution of Turkey with his finding on the westward movement of the North Anatolian Fault following the great Erzincan earthquake in 1939. His studies were later followed up and expanded by the next generation of Turkish earth scientists (Barka and Kadinsky-Cade 1988; engör 1979; engör and Ylmaz 1983; Aydan 1997). The plate tectonic model shown in Figure 3.1 is the widely accepted plate tectonic model for Turkey and its vicinity. The tectonic evolution of Turkey was associated with the uplift of the Levantine ocean base between Euro-Asia and Africa as a result of the northward motion of the Africa continent and Arabian plate (Ketin 1973, Barka and Reilinger 1997, Aydan 1997). This phenomenon explains why the tectonic structure of the Anatolian plate consists of melange Anadolu (Anatolides) and overlaying limestone-based sedimentary formations of Toros Dalar (Taurides) and Kuzey Anadolu Dalar (Pontides). Figure 3.1 A plate tectonic model for Turkey modified from Barka and Reilinger 1997 3-1 The northward motion of the Arabian plate relative to Africa plate causes lateral movement and rotation of the Anatolian block to the west and the North-East Anatolian block to the east. The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) and East Anatolian Fault (EAF) constitute the northern and southern boundaries, respectively, of the westward moving Anatolian block (Barka and Reilinger 1997, Aydan 1997). The motion of the Northeast Anatolian block is more complicated by extensive internal deformation of the block along conjugate faults.

Unlike the Sapanca Lake Basin, the oblique normal faults with WNW–ESE trending with maximum length of 5 km in the south of the basin have contributed to the deformation process in the formation of Izmit Basin. The fault sets mainly incline to the north. The N-S width of the dextral strike-slip active deformation was determined as 9 km at Izmit basin and 3.8 km at Sapanca Lake basin. Further, the minimum principal stress axes (σ3) vary in the trending ranges of N11°-74° E, which are caused by the transtensional stresses associated with strike- slip faulting in the Izmit Basin by a different tectonic source than the Sapanca Lake Basin.

Rather than adopting a narrow chronological or geographical approach, books in the series are conceptual in focus yet present an array of historical data to justify their arguments. They often involve a multi-disciplinary approach, juxtaposing different subject-areas such as economics and religion or literature and politics.

  • Relations Between General Tectonic Features and the Main Earthquake Regions of Turkey
    RELATIONS BETWEEN GENERAL TECTONIC FEATURES AND THE MAIN EARTHQUAKE REGIONS OF TURKEY İhsan KETİN Technical University of İstanbul - A - The geological structure and the tectonic evolution of Turkey, which is part of the Alpine belt, took mainly place during the Cenozoic Era. At that time, the Central Anatolia, the Taurus Mountains and the Southeastern Anatolia were developed. On the other hand the evolution of the northern and northwestern regions, which are called Pontids, took place during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras. The following structural elements in the tectonics of Turkey can be distin- guished : 1. Metamorphic - crystalline massifs, 2. Folded Paleozoic mountain chains, 3. Folded mountains of Mesozoic and Tertiary age, 4. Major faults and overthrusts, 5. Grabens and depressions, 6. Active faults and main earthquake zones. Let's describe these structural forms briefly: 1. Metamorphic - crystalline massifs These massifs, that played an important role in the evolution of tectonics of Turkey, form a kind of geologic skeleton of the country. They are formed of rocks that were subject to varying degree of metamorphism, and of crystalline rocks of basic and.acid composition. From the viewpoint of structure, they form large masses (massifs), and they respond as rigid bodies against tectonic defor- mations. The more important ones of these massifs that outcrop in a great- number of places and in various sizes are from west to east: Istranca, Armutlu, Bolu, Kazdağı, Uludağ, Menderes, Sultandağı, Kızılırmak, Anamur, Ilgaz, Daday, Amas- ya-Tokat massife and in the east, Bitlis massif. Some of the metamorphic series., in these massifs are of Paleozoic age and they were formed during the Caledonian* or the Hercynian orogeny.
