The neotectonics of NE Gaziantep: The Bozova and Halfeti strike-slip faults and their relationships with blind thrusts, Turkey
Journal Title: Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration - Year 2018, Vol 156, Issue
Abstract
In the northeast of Gaziantep, east-west trending thrusts, northeast-southwest trending left lateral strike-slip faults and northwest-southeast right lateral strike-slip faults are located. They are typical features of the neotectonics of southeast Anatolia, Turkey. Detailed mapping of these structures and structural data obtained from fi eld studies indicate that east-west trending thrust faults and related fault propagation folds is post-Pliocene. The strike-slip faults that cut these structures should be younger than the thrust fault. On the other hand, the recent seismic activity in the southeast Anatolia (2011.10.23 – M=7.3 Van; 2012.06.14 – ML=5.5 Şırnak-Silopi earthquakes) shows that north-south compression is taken by both thrusting and strike-slip faulting.
