Determination of discontinuities using self potential and horizontal apparent resistivity measurements in the Zonguldak Hardcoal Basin, Gelik District

Abstract

Self Potential (SP) and horizontal apparent resistivity measurements were made along a NW-SE oriented line perpendicular to the surface trace of the discontinuity in the Gelik District of the Zonguldak Coal Field. The dip angles and locations of the lateral discontinuities in the survey area were found by interpreting the SP and resistivity anomalies. Also, the boundary between Cretaceous and Carboniferous strata was determined and a cross-section along the NW-SE line was constructed.
