MISCELLANEOUS - MARMARA CRUISE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) We conclude that the northern sea of Marmara is at present cut by an active continuous strike-slip fault system, that we call the Marmara Fault. The establishment of the present trace of the fault through the Marmara Basin is contemporaneous with a recent phase of deposition of deep giant ripples, parallel to the bathymetric slope contours and adjacent to the turbidites basin deposits. Their survey shows that the microseismicity distribution is linear and closely related to the continuous fault displayed in figures 6 and 7 and 8 over the western two thirds of the sea. www.geologie.ens.fr /marmara/misc.html   (2086 words)

Sea of Marmara - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sea of Marmara (Turkish: Marmara Denizi, Modern Greek: Θάλασσα του Μαρμαρά or Προποντίδα) (also known as the Sea of Marmora or the Marmara Sea) is an inland sea that connects the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea, thus separating the Asian part of Turkey from its European part. There are two major island groups known as the Prince's and Marmara islands.

Turkish Odyssey/Places of Interest/Marmara/Bosphorus Cruise The Bosphorus is a narrow, navigable strait between Europe and Asia connecting the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus) to the Marmara Sea (Propontis). The average depth is 50 m / 164 ft. In the Bosphorus there are two currents; one on the surface from the Black Sea towards the Marmara Sea and one below the surface in the opposite direction.

Daring the Dardanelles British Submarines in the Sea of Marmara During World War I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) For the most part, the strait is several miles wide, but 14 miles upstream at the Narrows opposite the town of Canakkale on the Asian shore, the passage necks down to only 1,600 yards and veers sharply north, then east again, with a depth of approximately 200 feet. Unfortunately, E-14's periscope "feather" was easily visible, and she sustained heavy shelling from the batteries at Canakkale, as well as attempts by the crew of a Turkish patrol boat to snare her periscope whenever it appeared. Interestingly, the wreck of AE-2 was rediscovered in the Sea of Marmara in 1998, and discussions are ongoing between the Turkish and Australian governments about raising her as a relic. www.chinfo.navy.mil /navpalib/cno/n87/usw/issue_8/daring_dardanelles.html   (2297 words)

The Earthquake and Tsunami of August 17, 1999 in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey - by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis Although the earthquake involved primarily horizontal ground displacements, slumping and landslides triggered tsunami waves which were particularly damaging in the Gulf of Izmit, perhaps because of convergence and a funneling effect. The most recent tsunami in the Eastern Marmara Sea was associated with the 18 September 1963 earthquake. Tsunami generation will depend on the earthquake's energy release, the proximity of the body of water to the epicenter, the physical rupture along the fault, the propagation path of surface seismic waves, and the magnitude and duration of the dynamic, near-field, strong motions. www.drgeorgepc.com /Tsunami1999Turkey.html   (2386 words)

The Sea of Marmara: Where Ancient Myth and Modern Science Mix The Sea of Marmara is an important link for shipping between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (including tankers of oil from Russia, which figured in the plot of a recent James Bond movie) but it might seem less significant than other, more familiar bodies of water. The low-salinity inflow of water from the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, illustrated by the plume of coccoliths, is very important to the physical oceanography of the Aegean Sea. Finally, regarding the mythical and historical importance of the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmara: the ancient city of Troy commanded the approach to the Dardanelles, which made it a vital and wealthy trading port and a sea link to Byzantium (Constantinople/Istanbul). daac.gsfc.nasa.gov /oceancolor/scifocus/oceanColor/marmara.shtml   (823 words)

Interaction between faulting and sedimentation in the Sea of Marmara, western Turkey However, in the vicinity of the Sea of Marmara, both surface mapping of faults and earthquake fault plane solutions indicate that extensional motions, presumably related to back arc extension behind the Hellenic subduction zone, create a much wider zone of deformation which reaches hundreds of kilometers in width. In the southern Sea of Marmara these basins are half graben, formed on north dipping fault planes, which have trapped sediment coming into the Sea of Marmara from the south. No evidence is found in the data set for the existence of a single strike-slip fault through the Sea of Marmara or for the existence of a northern boundary fault along the Tekirdağ and Central Marmara basins. www.agu.org /pubs/crossref/2002/2001JB000450.shtml   (382 words)
