The deformation of Earth's lithosphere in orogenic belts is largely forced externally by the
sinking slab, but can also be driven by internal delamination processes caused by …

Late Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic, Cadomian tectonic elements are widespread in the
southeastern Alpine–Mediterranean mountain belts, with discontinuous exposure extending …

Miocene extension in the Aegean Sea was accompanied by the intrusion of granitoid and
monzonitic magmas at upper crustal levels. With increasing distance from the trench, the …

The Menderes Massif covers large areas in western Turkey. The better understanding of its
tectono-metamorphic history would provide insight for the Alpine evolution of western Turkey …

Western Turkey is one of the most spectacular regions of widespread active continental
extension in the world. The most prominent structures of this region are E–W-trending …

The Büyük Menderes Graben is one of the most prominent structures of western Anatolia
(Turkey) and borders the Aegean. New structural and stratigraphic evidence demonstrates …

Structural analyses along selected transects across the Menderes Massif and incorporation
of existing data have resulted in a synthetic cross section across southwestern Turkey. The …

The complexity of the plate interactions and associated crustal deformation in the Eastern
Mediterranean region is reflected in many destructive earthquakes that have occurred …

The Menderes Massif is a large area of dominantly Tertiary metamorphic rocks in western
Turkey. It is bordered in the west by the Cycladic Metamorphic Complex with Eocene high …

The Menderes Massif is made up of Pan-African basement and a Paleozoic to Early Tertiary
cover sequence imbricated by Late Alpine deformation. The Precambrian basement …
