Linking slab break-off, Hellenic trench retreat, and uplift of the Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus

TF Schildgen, C Yıldırım, D Cosentino… - Earth-Science …, 2014 - Elsevier

Slab detachment beneath eastern Anatolia: A possible cause for the formation of the North Anatolian fault

C Faccenna, O Bellier, J Martinod, C Piromallo… - Earth and Planetary …, 2006 - Elsevier
In this paper, we discuss the possibility that the North Anatolian fault (NAF) results from the
deep deformation of the slab beneath the Bitlis–Hellenic subduction zone. We described the …
