Popis:	Recent bathymetric surveys help us to understand morphological features of the Marmara Sea. Marmara Sea has unique and complex morphological features and active tectonics. In this study, morphologic features of major submarine landslides of the Marmara Sea were studied using advanced visualization and geomatic systems (digital terrain models, DTM; geographic-information systems, GIS; image-processing systems; high-resolution seismic and bathymetric data). The high-angle continental slopes of the Marmara Sea are produced by submarine landslides and slumps, which have potential tsunamis generations. In this study, tectonically active major submarine landslides were investigated in the Marmara Sea. Three of them are observed along the slopes, one is on the Eastern Ridge and the fifth forms the Western Ridge of the Marmara Sea. They are interpreted as rotational and translational slides, debris flows, and mudflows controlled by slope and tectonic activity. On the northern slope of Cinarcik Basin, rot...
