Dersin Amacı

To explain and introduce seismotectonic features of the strike-slip faults, which cause earthquake hazard for a number of highly populated and developed regions on the Earth including Marmara Region of Turkey, and of the two strike-slip fault systems (North and East Anatolian Fault Zones) produced devastating earthquakes in Turkey to the graduate students studying topics directly or indirectly related with Earth Sciences. The fact that North Anatolian Fault Zone passes close to the main campus of Sakarya University, caused the depression that host Sapanca Lake and produced 1999 İzmit earthquake could be introduced as a necessity for this graduate course.

Dersin İçeriği
