Özet

The Golmarmara Basin forms the northern branch of the Gediz Graben, which constitutes a series of horst-graben systems controlled by antithetic and synthetic normal fault steps in the Western Anatolia Extensional Province. Although geology of this section is well known, it is not studied enough in terms of active tectonics and geomorphology The aim of this study is to reveal fault segments on the basis of Quaternary activity and structural evolution of the Golmarmara Fault forming the southern boundaty of the basin.
