“…1) from there onward (Okay et al 2004). This change in orientation forms a restraining bend in the fault zone, which adds a compressional component to the NS-NAFZ (Okay et al 1999(Okay et al , 2004Yaltırak and Alpar 2002;Gökaşan et al 2003). The compressional nature of this fault can be clearly seen in a seismic section located south of Gazikoy village where the fault enters Thrace (Fig.…”

“…4a). Onland, the compressional component of the NS-NAFZ is revealed by sharply increased inclinations of the Upper Miocene units toward the fault, and by the uplifted Ganos Mountains as a restraining ridge (e.g., Tüysüz et al 1998;Yaltırak and Alpar 2002;Okay et al 2004). …”

“…The structures are represented by NE-SW-and ENE-WSW-trending folds, recumbent beds, small-scale thrust faults, and high-angle strike-slip faults. The Anafartalar Shear Zone (ASZ; called the Anafartalar Thrust Fault in Yaltırak et al 1998, 2000, and Yaltırak and Alpar 2002 is the most dominant structure on the Gelibolu Peninsula. It is a convex shear zone that is clearly visible in the NE part of Gelibolu (Fig.…”

“…Yet, only very few studies have focused on the basin itself (Elmas and Meriç 1998;Yaltırak et al 2000). In addition, the present tectonic activity of the Çanakkale Basin has in the past not been clearly linked to the NS-NAFZ, which has been interpreted as a transtensional fault in the Saros Gulf (Taymaz et al 1991;Yaltırak and Alpar 2002;Karabulut et al 2006;Ustaömer et al 2008).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
