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; Tercan, 3; Aşkale, 4; Pasinler, 5; Kağızman, 6; Tekman, 7; Hınıs, 8; 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; the Solhan volcano’s caldera, broken black half-circle defines the caldera’s northern half.
