East Anatolian Fault the Dead Sea Transform, and ending at the Karliova Triple Junction where it meets the North Anatolian Fault. From 1939 to 1999 a series of earthquakes progressed westwards along the North Anatolian Fault. But since 2003 there have been a series on the East Anatolian Fault. These started with the 2003 Bingöl earthquake and include the 2010 Elâzığ earthquake. East Anatolian Fault The East Anatolian Fault is a major strike-slip fault zone in eastern Turkey. It forms the transform type tectonic boundary between the Anatolian Plate and the northward-moving Arabian Plate. The difference in the relative motions of the two
Geology of the Antarctic Peninsula and was active on King George Island during most of the Tertiary. The younger system of faults, also a series of strike-slip faults, displaced the older system and formed transverse to the island arc. Movement of the fault activity was caused by the counterclockwise rotation of the Antarctic Continent with respect to the subduction zone. The last and most recent stage in the evolution of the Antarctic Peninsula subduction zone is the opening of the Bransfield Rift, creating the Bransfield back-arc basin from the Oligocene to the present day. This basin separates the inner, older magmatic arc (mainland Antarctic Peninsula)
