Quantitative analysis of relative tectonic activity in the Acıgöl fault, SW Turkey

Evaluation of formation mechanism of lakes in terms of morphometric aspect; lakes region and their vicinity, SW of Turkey

“…Acigöl fault scraps, a large number of water discharges along the Acigöl fault and leaning of ake Acigöl towards the south of the basin, indicates that the Acıgöl Fault is a tectonically active normal fault (Topal, 2018). In this study, the tectonic origin of the Lake Acıgöl is verified with the Elongation Ratio (Re), Compactness (Rc), Circularity Ratio (c), and the main axis of the lake and the faults in the vicinity.…”

Çal Kanyonu ve Çevresinin (Denizli, GB Anadolu) Jeolojik-Jeomorfolojik Özellikleri ve Jeoturizm Potansiyeli

“…Horst alanlarında yükseklikleri 2500 m'nin üzerinde dağlar (ör., Honaz Dağı; 2.571 m) yer alırken, graben tabanlarına akarsular ve göller yerleşmiştir. Örneğin, Baklan-Çivril Grabeni ve Büyük Menderes Grabeni'nde Büyük Menderes Nehri (Kazancı vd., 2009(Kazancı vd., , 2011, Acıgöl Grabeni'nde ise Acıgöl yer alır (Kazancı vd., 2012;Topal, 2018). Bölgede genişleme tektoniği beraberinde graben ilişkili vadileri, jeotermal alanları (Şimşek, 2003), sıcak ve soğuk su kaynaklarını (Özler, 2000) ve yaygın traverten oluşumlarını meydana getirmiştir (Özkul vd., 2013).…”

Madograms help to quantify mountain frontal zones—An approach towards comparative spatial analysis of complex landforms

“…Studies of fault-generated escarpments (mountain fronts) have followed this model. The mountain front sinuosity index is almost routinely calculated (e.g., El Hamdouni, Irigaray, Fernandez, Chacón, & Keller, 2008;Silva, Goy, Zazo, & Bardají, 2003;Topal, 2018), but much less common are calculations of spacing ratio (Wallace, 1978) or faceting parameter, which informs about the degree of dissection (Ramírez-Herrera, 1998;Wells et al, 1988).…”

Indicators of relative intensity of tectonic activity of mountain fronts are also derived from discrete properties of other elements of geomorphic systems, such as front‐dissecting valleys, drainage basins within the footwall, and longitudinal river profiles (Das et al., 2019; Softa, Emre, Sözbilir, Spencer, & Turan, 2018).…”
