Abstract

The Sea of Marmara is located in the North Anatolian Fault (NAF), a major continental transform plate boundary between the Eurasian and Anatolian-Aegean plates. The area is also under the influence of the N-S extensional Aegean regime. The 100 km-wide NAF zone in the Marmara region accommodates 24 mm/year dextral motion, with 70%-80% of this displacement taking place along the northern branch of the NAF, the Main Marmara Fault in the Sea of Marmara.
