Abstract :Normal 0 21 false false false TR X-NONE X-NONE Although it is an inland sea, the Sea of Marmara and its surroundings have rather complex morphology due to the active tectonics of the North Anatolian Fault insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NAF); zone in this region. The Kapıdağ Peninsula which is located at its southern coasts also represents a complex morphology. Macro morphologic units of Kapıdağ Peninsula are N-S trending deep valley systems, mountain areas and Belkıs isthmus. The most coastal area of peninsula has terraces, coastal plains and alluvial valley floors. These unique morphologic features can explain some parameters of active tectonics of the Sea of Marmara region. In order to investigate these geomorphologic features of the Kapıdağ peninsula in detail, some land observations, satellite data, Digital Terrain Models insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DTMs which have been evaluated from topographic maps with a vertical precision of ±3m and cell size of 8m);, Geographic Information Systems insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GIS);, traditional methods and some integrated techniques such as image processing were used.
