Abstract

Fissure-ridge travertines (FRTs) are of great importance for the determination and comparison of tectonic deformation in a region. The coeval development of these travertines with active fault zones supplies significant information about regional dynamics in terms of deformation pattern and evolution. In this paper, the characteristics of FRTs of the Başkale basin (eastern Turkey) and responsible regional tectonism are discussed for the first time. The Başkale basin is located between the Başkale Fault Zone (BFZ) characterised by Çamlık fault and Işıklı–Ziraniş fault. It is located between dextral Yüksekova Fault Zone and southern end of dextral Guilato–Siahcheshmeh–Khoy Fault system (Iran). Various morphological features indicating recent activity are exposed along the BFZ, including offsetting rivers, fissure-ridge travertine and fault scarps. The Çamlık fissure-ridge travertine composing of three different depositions is observed along the eastern edge of the BFZ with approximately parallel orientations. The Çamlık fissure-ridge travertine has been formed and developed on fault zone related to strike-slip or oblique movements. We explain how kinematic changes of faults can influence the fissure-ridge development.

东安纳托利亚Van ba kale盆地Çamlık裂岭钙华的演化

裂脊钙华对于确定和比较一个地区的构造变形具有重要意义。这些钙华与活动断裂带的同步发育，在变形模式和演化方面提供了重要的区域动力学信息。本文首次讨论了土耳其东部ba kale盆地的frt特征及其相关的区域构造作用。ba kale盆地位于以Çamlık断裂和Işıklı-Ziraniş断裂为特征的ba kale断裂带(BFZ)之间。它位于右旋y ksekova断裂带和右旋Guilato-Siahcheshmeh-Khoy断裂带南端之间。临北带暴露出各种表明近期活动的形态特征，包括相抵的河流、裂脊钙华和断崖。在断裂带东缘观察到由三种不同沉积组成的Çamlık缝脊钙华，取向近似平行。Çamlık断脊钙华是在与走滑或斜向运动有关的断裂带上形成和发育的。我们解释了断层的运动变化如何影响裂脊的发育。

期刊介绍： Geodinamica Acta provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the publication of results of recent research dealing with both internal and external geodynamics. Its aims to promote discussion between the various disciplines that work on the dynamics of the lithosphere and hydrosphere. There are no constraints over themes, provided the main thrust of the paper relates to Earth''s internal and external geodynamics. The Journal encourages the submission of papers in all fields of earth sciences, such as biostratigraphy, geochemistry, geochronology and thermochronology, geohazards and their societal impacts, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, igneous and metamorphic petrology, magmatism, marine geology, metamorphism, mineral-deposits and energy resources, mineralogy, orogeny, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, paleoceanograpgy, palaeontology, petroleum geology, sedimentology, seismology and earthquakes, stratigraphy, structural geology, surface processes, tectonics (neoteoctonic, plate tectonics, seismo-tectonics, Active tectonics) and volcanism. Geodinamica Acta publishes high quality, peer-reviewed original and timely scientific papers, comprehensive review articles on hot topics of current interest, rapid communications relating to a significant advance in the earth sciences with broad interest, and discussions of papers that have already appeared in recent issues of the journal. Book reviews are also included. Submitted papers must have international appeal and regional implications; they should present work that would be of interest to many different specialists. Geographic coverage is global and work on any part of the world is considered. The Journal also publishes thematic sets of papers on topical aspects of earth sciences or special issues of selected papers from conferences.
