Özet

The Burdur Basin, which is located in the Lakes Region in SW Anatolia, was formed by vertical faulting movements. The erosion surfaces were developed on the marl deposit in accordance with the lowering of the base level in each faulting movement in the east of the Burdur Basin. These erosion surfaces are at an elevation of 980, 995, 1040, 1115, 1200, 1300-1340 m on the Neogene marl deposit and knickpoints along the valleys indicate six times depressed along the fault lines of the Burdur Basin. The fault scarp extending on the east of the Burdur Basin was dissected deeply as a triangular facet; the accumulation of materials that had been transported from the highlands led to the formation of dejection fans, cones and re-deposited marl deposit in the eastern part of the Lake Burdur Basin.
