The Formation and Evaluation of the Faulted Topography in the Burdur Basin, Lakes Region, SW Anatolia

The Burdur Basin, which is located in the Lakes Region SW Anatolia, was formed by vertical faulting movements. erosion surfaces were developed on marl deposit accordance with lowering of base level each movement east Basin. These are at an elevation 980, 995, 1040, 1115, 1200, 1300-1340 m Neogene and knickpoints along valleys indicate six times depressed fault lines scarp extending Basin dissected deeply as a triangular facet; accumulation materials that had been transported from highlands led to formation dejection fans, cones re-deposited eastern part Lake Earthquakes have occurred frequently since historical subsidence has taken place deeper attained depth more than 70 southern lake may continued tectonic activity. Burdur, remnant Lake, containing some heavy minerals supports life only one species fish poor flora fauna.
