Abstract:

 


In this study, tilt angle method was applied to Western Anatolia gravity data in order to estimate
edges of the geological structures. Tilt angle was obtained in two different ways by using gravity
and its vertical derivative. In potential fi eld methods, tilt angle technique is expressed as the ratio
of vertical derivative to horizontal derivatives of anomaly. In the tilt angle map, 0° contours defi nes
structure edges, half of the distance between ±45° defi nes depth of upper structure. In the fi eld work
of the study, gravity data, which was measured in Western Anatolia, was used to obtain regional
anomaly maps and tilt angle and tilt angle of vertical directional derivative were applied to these
maps. A signifi ciant difference was observed between western and eastern parts of the N-S striking
line, througout 28o longitude, from the results of tilt angle which was obtained by applying upward
continuation method (50, 75 and 100 km) to the Bouguer anomaly. Same difference was determined
from the results of vertical derivative of tilt angle which was obtained from upward contuniation of
Bouguer anomaly. Depth values were obtained from the results of tilt angle and vertical derivative
of tilt angle methods between 7 and 43 km in study area. The obtained results were compared with
geological structural boundary and possible depths of geological discontinuities were estimated. In
addition, obtained results were investigated with seismic activity in the study area and compared
with previous geological and geophysical studies.
