Along the mountain front, the Manisa Fault Zone separates the Pleistocene-Early Holocene Emlakdere and Turgutlu formations from the footwall rocks of Bornova Flysch Zone of Late Cretaceous-Paleocene age and Neogene volcano-sedimentary units (Okay et al., 1996, (Figure 2). E-W to NW-SE-striking Manisa Fault Zone (MFZ) is made up of two main fault segments at a total of 45 km long (Emre et al., 2018). Even though previous studies are mostly concentrated on the western segment of MFZ to explain Quaternary-Holocene characteristics (Özkaymak et al., 2011;Akçar et al., 2012), the studies regarding active tectonics and paleoseismology of the eastern segment of MFZ aim to unravel the Quaternary activity, and landscape evolution has so far been rarely addressed. According to Özkaymak et al's. ( 2011) studies, the western segment is responsible for three paleo-earthquakes, which
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
