The Edremit Fault Zone (EFZ) forms one of the southern segments of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) at the northern margin of the Edremit Gulf (Biga Peninsula, South Marmara Region, Turkey). Stratigraphic, structural and kinematic results indicate that basinward younging of the fault zone, in terms of a rolling-hinge mechanism, has resulted in at least three discrete Miocene to Holocene deformational phases: the oldest one (Phase 1) directly related to the inactive Kazdağ Detachment Fault, which was formed under N-S trending pure extension; Phase 2 is characterised by a strike-slip stress condition, probably related to the progression of the NAFZ towards the Edremit area in the PlioQuaternary; and Phase 3 is represented by the high-angle normal faulting, which is directly interrelated with the last movement of the EFZ. Our palaeoseismic studies on the EFZ revealed the occurrence of three past surface rupture events; the first one occurred before 13178 BC, a penultimate event that may correspond to either the 160 AD or 253 AD historical earthquakes, and the youngest one can be associated with the 6 October 1944 earthquake (M w = 6.8). These palaeoseismic data indicate that there is no systematic earthquake recurrence period on the EFZ.

“…The 15 largest faults, traceable along strike for 1 to 6 km, displace the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone, a well-sorted, highly porous aeolian sandstone, and the overlying Carmel the odd-axis model, the principal paleostrain orientations and ratios [Krantz, 1988[Krantz, , 1989]. Cowie and Shipton [1998] and Shipton [1999] analyzed the slip profile along one of the main faults and relate the linear slip gradients at the fault tips to a positive stress feedback between sequential slip increments.…”

Abstract. Numerical models based on linear elasticity theory predict asymmetric slip distribution with a steep slip gradient near the line of intersection of intersecting normal faults. They also predict a discrepancy between the direction of slip on the fault plane and the direction of resolved shear stress. Both variations in slip magnitude and direction are due to mechanical interaction between the faults with intersecting patterns. These interactions cause local perturbations of the shear stress field acting on the plane of the adjacent fault. Field observations from the Chimney Rock area of central Utah show that slickensides on normal faults cutting the Navajo Sandstone change rake away from the expected downdip direction as the intersection line with adjacent faults is approached. The sense and magnitude of this change in orientation are similar to those computed by using the numerical models. The good correspondence between field observations and theoretical results from this paper not only provides insight into the mechanics of intersecting faults, but suggests that care is required when using standard inverse methods to compute paleostresses from slickenside data. The slickenside orientation near intersection lines will generally not be in the direction of the remote maximum shear stress as resolved on the fault plane. A parameter study of this change in orientation provides helpful results for evaluating field data prior to a paleostress analysis.
