DEM and GIS-based assessment of structural elements in the collision zone: Çağlayancerit, Kahramanmaraş (Türkiye)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Topographic and linear data are precisely linked to the tectonic structure of the region. This relation can be identified both in the field and in satellite images. As it is recognized, high topographic areas are formed with the effect of the compression regime in the zones where different continents are sutured. There are traces of the suture zone in the northeast of Kahramanmaraş. Because of the closure of the Neotethys Ocean, a collision zone developed in and around Çağlayancerit, located in the northeast of Kahramanmaraş. Units in the Arabian Autochthonous and Taurus Orogenic belts came together in this district. Thrust belts and faults have been observed in this vicinity. In this region, there are different tectonostratigraphic sequences sliced on top of each other by the effect of compression. These slices and their structural features have caused different morphological traces in the region. Structural events have led to the development of linearity and topographic elevations, respectively. According to the in-situ observation and the digital elevation model (DEM) analysis results which were performed in the QGIS environment, the topographic elevations in the collision belt are relatively higher than the areas in the south. As a result of the north-south compression, the thrust lines formed definite linearity. Each fault characterized in the region controls the morphology directly.
