Özet:

 


One of most prominent and active faults in Eastern Turkey is the NE-SW
oriented left-lateral strike-slip East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) with a
length of approximately 500 km. In this study, we have examined the recent
seismicity of EAFZ that was obtained from the records of 34 three-dimensional
broad-band earthquake stations established around the fault zone within TURDEP
project since 2006. Further the seismicity and fault mechanism solutions of
EAFZ, Eastern Turkey have been examined. The new fault mechanism solutions in
addition to previously published 220 earthquakes, with a magnitude of ML=2.0
or more were determined by a local moment tensor solution and P-wave first
motion data. It was suggested that the recent tectonic deformation of EAFZ
south of Türkoğlu was taken up by the left-lateral strike-slip active faults in
between Amik and Adana Basins were young trans-tensional stress regime was also
active.
