This study is carried out in Bozburun Peninsula where agricultural terraces exist. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of lithology and morphology of the area on the distribution of terraces. The data used in the study is composed of necessary analog and digital topographic maps and geological maps which are revised by field data. Morphological settings of the regions, where terraces were placed, are classified into three types as coastal, valley and karstic. The methodology of the study consists of the analysis of elevation and slope values of terraces and three main rock units (alluvium, clastics and limestone) in ten selected areas. Results of the analysis suggest followings on the relationship between terraces and lithological/morphological features: 1) the units are ordered from lowest to highest values of elevation and slope as alluvium, terraces, clastics and limestone; 2) agricultural terraces were highly and inversely influenced by limestone among all rock units; 3) terraces are mostly built in alluvium and clastics. 4) low elevation and slope values are preferred for agricultural terracing; 5) three landform types (coastal, valley and karstic) have different patterns in elevation and slope values of rock types as well as terraces.

Geoarchaelogical investigation of central anatolian caravanserais using gis
Ertepınar Kaymakcı, Pnar; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2005)
This study comprises analysis of geological, geomorphological constraints that played role in the site selection of caravanserais. In order to do this, 15 caravanserais located along a route from Nevşehir-Aksaray-Konya to Beyşehir were used. The data used in the study include a caravanserai database, lithological maps, and digital elevation model of the area. GIS analyses performed in the study are proximity, visibility, and probability distribution (PDA). The first step is the generation of the ancient tra...
GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NORTHWARD ARCHED SEGMENT OF THE NORTH ANATOLIAN TRANSFORM-FAULT ZONE
DIRIK, K (Wiley; 1993-12-01)
The study area is located in the southern part of the Central Pontides. The rocks exposed in this region have been divided into three major groups: basement, cover sequence and volcanic rocks. The basement rocks are composed of metamorphic units and a chaotic assemblage derived from an accretionary prism produced during the northward subduction of northern Neo-Tethys during the Late Cretaceous. During the same period, the basal element of the cover sequence, a thick and coarsening upward flysch succession (...
Episodic two-stage extensional evolutionary model for southwestern Anatolian graben-horst system: New field data from the Erdogmus-Yenigediz graben (Kutahya)
Gurboga, Sule (Deveci); Kocyigit, Ali; Ruffet, Gilles (2013-04-01)
The study area is the Erdosgmus-Yenigediz graben, located along the western section of the Aksehir-Simav normal fault system in western Turkey. The Erdogmus-Yenigediz graben development commenced on the erosional surface of the northern Menderes Massif, under the control of several normal fault zones such as the Simav, Saphane and Yelsilova fault zones during the late Early Miocene (Burdigalian). Later it gained its present-day configuration under the control of both older and younger normal faults. Three g...
Clay mineralogy and diagenesis of K-bentonites occuring in the devonian Yılanlı formation from North Western Anatolia (Bartın - Zonguldak)
Ünlüce, Özge; Günal Türkmenoğlu, Asuman; Department of Geological Engineering (2013)
Yellowish brown and gray-green colored K-bentonite horizons revealing thicknesses up to 60 cm are exposed within the limestone-dolomitic limestone successions (Middle Devonian-Lower Carboniferous Yılanlı formation) deposited on a shallow marine carbonate platform at Zonguldak and Bartın area in the western Black Sea region. In this study, bentonite samples collected from two different locations; Gavurpınarı quarry and Yılanlı Burnu quarry are investigated by means of optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffrac...
Neotectonics and evolution of the Eskipazar Basin, Karabük ا Turkey
Biryol, C. Berk; Koçyiğit, Ali; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
Study area, the Eskipazar Basin, is located in the western part of the North Anatolian Fault System. It is a 3-5 km wide, 10 km long and NWSE trending depression, bounded by a complex array of oblique-slip normal faults and strike-slip faults. The Eskipazar Basin is interpreted to be a superimposed basin. The basin fill is composed of two different units deposited under the control of different tectonic regimes, namely the paleotectonic and the neotectonic regimes. The latest paleotectonic fill of the basin...
