TLDR
In this article, the authors describe Turkey as one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history of devastating earthquakes, and the belter understanding of its neotectonic features and active tectonics wou...About:

Late Cenozoic reorganization of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision and the comparison of short‐term and long‐term deformation rates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extrapolate the present day slip rates of many active fault systems for ∼3-7 million years to account for their total displacement, which means that the present kinematics of the Arabia-Eurasia collision are unlikely be the same as at its start, which was probably in the early Miocene (16-23 Ma) or earlier.

East Anatolian high plateau as a mantle-supported, north-south shortened domal structure
TL;DR: Sengor et al. as discussed by the authors published an edited version of this paper by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Copyright 2003, AGU, Inc. The paper was published by the AGU.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slab detachment beneath eastern Anatolia: A possible cause for the formation of the North Anatolian fault
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possibility that the North Anatolian fault (NAF) results from the deep deformation of the slab beneath the Bitlis-Hellenic subduction zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segmented African lithosphere beneath the Anatolian region inferred from teleseismic P-wave tomography
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the deeper lithosphere and mantle structure of Anatolia using teleseismic, finite-frequency, P-wave traveltime tomography and reveal segmented fast seismic anomalies beneath Anatolia that correspond to the subducted portion of the African lithosphere along the Cyprean and the Aegean trenches.

Landslide susceptibility mapping for a part of tectonic Kelkit Valley (Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey)
TL;DR: In this article, a landslide susceptibility map of a part of tectonic Kelkit Valley in the north of central Turkey was produced, employing binary logistic regression analyses to achieve the most appropriate results some sensitivity analyses were also carried out.

Current plate motions
TL;DR: A global plate motion model, named NUVEL-1, which describes current plate motions between 12 rigid plates is described, with special attention given to the method, data, and assumptions used as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of recent revisions to the geomagnetic reversal time scale on estimates of current plate motions
TL;DR: In this article, the optimal recalibration of NUVEL-1 is proposed to multiply the angular velocities by a constant, α, of 0.9562, which is a compromise among slightly different calibrations appropriate for slow, medium, and fast rates of seafloor spreading.
Current plate motions
TL;DR: In this paper, a new global model (NUVEL-1) was proposed to describe the geologically current motion between 12 assumed-rigid plates by inverting plate motion data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tethyan evolution of Turkey: A plate tectonic approach
TL;DR: The Karakaya marginal sea was already closed by earliest Jurassic times because early Jurassic sediments unconformably overlie its deformed lithologies as discussed by the authors, and it was closed by collision of the Bitlis-Poturge fragment with Arabia.
Active tectonics of Mediterranean region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined more than 100 fault plane solutions for earthquakes within the Alpide belt between the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Eastern Iran and found that the deformation at present occurring is the result of small continental plates moving away from Eastern Turkey and Western Iran.
