Abstract

The aim of this study is to elucidate the neotectonic characteristics of the \cCavuЕџcug\"ol graben. The Cavuscugol graben is 3-8 km wide 28 km long. It is a N-S trending actively evolving extensional structure containing infills of fluvial sediments of Pliocene- Quaternary age. The Cavuscugol graben is bounded on both sides by oblique-slip normal faults. These faults trend N-S and named as IlgД±n Fault on the west and Tekeler Fault on the east. The footwall side of the faults are composed of the pre-Late Cretaceous metamorphic rocks and the Miocene-Pliocene fluviolacustrine sediments. Field studies indicated that the graben has been developed as a result of E-W extension since Upper Pliocene.
