Introduction to the Geology of Turkey - A Synthesis

摘要

In conclusion, Anatolia forms a superb laboratory for the study of subduction, ophiolite obduction, continent-continent collision, metamorphism, the relationship between lithospheric deformation and magmatism, post-collisional intracontinental convergence- and tectonic escape-related deformation and magmatism, and the consequent structures that Include fold and thrust belts, suture zones, active strike-slip faulting, and active normal faulting and associated basin formation. Those interested in other recent treatments of Turkish geology may refer to the following sources: Tekeli and Concuoglu (1984), Sengor (1989), Kelling et al. (1993), Sengor and Tatar (1996), Robinson (1997), Gourgaud (1998), Robertson and Comas (1998), Tekeli (1998), Bozkurt and Rowbotham (1999a, 1999b), and Bozkurt et al. (2000).
