Abstract The given method can be applied to two-dimensional structures such as horsts and grabens, and is also
suitable for structures in the form of a sloping dyke that extends to infinity. It is possible to provide some
parameters such as depth, upper surface width, and slope angle by using the Double Circle Method, which is a
geometric method by taking advantage of the gravity anomalies that these structures will create on the earth. In
this study, the application of the Double Circle Method to the Büyük Menderes Graben is given. Büyük
Menderes graben is located between Denizli and the Aegean Sea and is approximately 200 km long. The eastern
end of the graben intersects with the Gediz graben around Pamukkale. The western end divides into two
branches around Germencik. The northern branch continues to Kuşadası, and the southern branch turns SW and
enters the Aegean Sea. A regional gravity anomaly map was derived by using the Bouger gravity anomaly map
data obtained as a result of the gravimetric survey conducted in the region. The Double Circle Method was
applied to the gravity anomalies obtained from various sections.
