| Zusammenfassung |
| Black Sea has attracted many researchers’s attention due to the historical formation and
geological structure and these are still under discussion. However general view suggest
that Black Sea is a back arc basin model formed behind the Pontid volcanic arc.
Even though there are many studies conducted by both Turkish and international
researches and petroleum company, there are still unresolved scientific questions. To
better understand the regional geology and investigate the geological formations
and fault systems existing in the region, approximately 1700 km high resolution
multi-channel seismic reflection data were collected in the Eastern Black Sea (around Rize
and Trabzon) in 2010. This study was carried out within the scope of cooperation
between Dokuz Eylul University Marine Science and Technology and Pukyong
National University (PKNU). Collected lines include the continental slope and deep
basin. After the data was processed by the data processing program, geological
structures like slip structures, turbidity and sediment waves has attracted attention
commonly seen in the Black Sea region. Location of the faults that exist in the
region, their extension and characteristics were also investigated. Although the
basin shows opening feature during the formation, many fold structures caused by
compression structure was also observed around the continental slope. East-west
trending fold belt observed by interpretation of the seismic lines was associated
with Trabzon fault which is thought to exist in the region. In addition to these,
mud volcanoes and volcanic dome structures were also observed in the study area. |
