Abstract

Elmalı Basin, which consists of
the Elmalı county and some villages, approximately 120 km far from Antalya
city, is one of the recent depositional areas in the extensional neotectonic
region of southwestern Turkey. The basin provides signifi cant data for the
understanding of the geological evolution to record from the basement to recent
depositional units. For this reason, these kinds of structures are used to
determine the deformations phases for the evolutionary history of basin
formation. In the content of the study, following applications have been
investigated: (a) mapping of the area and structures in 1/25.000 scale, (b)
information about deformation and tectonic activity along the basin margin
faults, (c) the distribution of peak ground acceleration (PGA) in case of an
earthquake with 6.5 magnitude and (d) morphometric analyzes of the basin to
understand the tectonic uplift by using the digital elevation model. The new
results combined with existing data imply that the Elmalı Basin has a number of
deformation structures and active faults on both western and eastern sites of
the basin. Depending on the morphometric indices, western side of the basin
created higher uplift ratio compared with the eastern side of the basin.
