Özet:

urkey as a country that is located on a dense tectonic activity area due to geotectonic properties, is consisted of soluble rocks by 40%. On these rocks that sometimes climb 4000 m high and E-W oriented tectonic assembly, morphogenetic and morphometrically prominently different 6 karst zone and 11 karst area can be distinguished due to huge differences in short distances in genetic and structural factors. In the direction of N-S the most expanded and stressed part of Anatolia to Black Sea and Mediterranean that is surrounded by Antalya travertine plateau – Sakarya plain, Çarşamba/Bafra deltas and Çokurova plain takes part. This region is called “Central Anatolian Plateau Karst Zone” has various tectonic assemblies, geographical regions, climate properties and is consisted of characteristic plateau areas (Küre Mt plateaus, Central Anatolian plateaus and Taşeli plateau) that differs by generation environments and origins. Central Taurus, Central Anatolia and Central – Western Black Sea karst areas that differ by morphometric and morphogenetic properties and gives the characteristic to karst at Turkey are located on this zone. This karst, which shows a multiple period – single/multiple originated development properties and regenerated, interwoven, orogenic deep karst (kuyluç, deep and long cave systems) and deep closed basin karst shapes (cenote, travertine cones and gypsum topography) reach to huge dimensions in vertical and horizontal directions is regenerated since Pliocene and in continuous development. The tectonic regime (compression-stress and relatively uprising as a block) in Neotectonic period of Anatolia has been a determiner on the current location of these N-S oriented zone of karst that does not show similarity by generation and development properties.
