Figure 2. Geology map of the Eastern Anatolia (modified after
MTA 1/500 000 scale geology map of Turkey covering regions from the
Erzurum, Van, Diyarbakır, and Trabzon sheets). Numbers 1 to 10 show
approximate locations of the young continental basins; 1; Çayırlı, 2;

Bulanık-Malazgirt 9; Muş-Bingöl. Straight lines are major strike-slip
faults. Curvilinear lines along the northern and southern edges of
eastern Anatolia are the major thrusts separating eastern Anatolia from
the neighboring orogenic belts.
The rectangle defined by black broken lines shows the location of the
map in fig 8A. The black line with arrows at both ends indicates the
direction of the cross-section in Figure 5C. Abbreviations: SC;
