| Popis: | GlobalPositioning System (GPS) is an advanced method for determining horizontal andvertical positions. With the developing technology and data processingtechniques, GPS can be used to find the position and speed of a point inmillimeter precision. Deformation, which is the gradient of the displacementfield, can be calculated by using GPS displacement vectors obtained from themeasurements made in the interplate and plate boundaries and reveals importantinformation about regional tectonics. Eastern Mediterranean, which has a veryactive tectonism, was chosen as studyarea within the scope of this study. In order to be able to examine thetectonic elements in the region, analysis was done in three stages. Deformationanalysis was performed for three different areas by using data of GPS studiesin previous years. The deformation analysis of the Eastern Mediterranean, whichis a larger area, was firstly carried out, and then the area was reduced andthe regional results of Cyprus and its surroundings were tried to be reached.Extension, shortening, dilatation and rotation maps of the study area wereperformed. Obtained deformation analysis results and the relationship betweentectonics were interpreted together. |
