Özet

The Cumaovasi basin, formerly known as the Cubukludag Graben, is located at the western end of Gediz and Kucuk Menderes grabens in the west Anatolian extensional province. It is 5-17-km wide and 35-km-long, NNE-SSW-trending, asymmetric basin that was formed under the control of strike-slip and oblique-slip normal faults.
