(a) Simplified geological map of Büyük Menderes Graben (compiled from various sources44,45). Photos of the Yavansu fault, Kuşadası fault system, which show (b) approximately 30 m highly polished slickensided surface with normal-sense slickenlines; notice the 1.8 m tall person in red circle for scale. (c) The synthetic and antithetic normal active faults under near N-S extension regime plunging into the graben, where human constructions are on the hanging wall exactly next to the fault surface. This presents a tremendous risk for geological hazards. Black arrow and character indicate the camera direction (d) fault surfaces of the Kuşadası fault showing multiple slip events and their kinematic features, Schmidt lower hemisphere equal-area projections of fault slip data, the arrows are striations46 (see Table 2 for details).
