Özet

The shelf between Tekirdağ and Şarkoy, NW Marmara Sea, is controlled by a major fault system, the Ganos Fault (GF), which is claimed to be the source of the 7.3 (Ms) earthquake in 1912. The effect of GF and global sea-level changes on of the shelf between Tekirdağ and Şarkoy was discussed on the basis of seismic-stratigraphic data. Two main units (U1, U2) and three para-sequences (U1a, U1b and U1c) were determined. The para-sequences (U1b, U1c) are of fluvial origin and are mainly controlled by the sea-level fluctuations. The sea-bottom morphology and the thickness of the resulting seismic-stratigraphic units must have been controlled mainly by the GF. Moreover, the GF also controls the elevation differences between the wave-cut terraces along the Tekirdag-Şarkoy self and the others in the Marmara Sea.
