Basin Progress – Active Deformation Analysis by Tectonostratigraphic Elements and Geophysical Methods on North Anatolian Fault System (Eastern Marmara Region, Turkey)
Abstract:The Northern Branch of the North Anatolian Fault System controls and deforms the Izmit Basin and the Sapanca Lake Basin in the study area. 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 La… Show more
