Abstract:
Natural geophysical fields are a valuable source of information about the surface and deeper layers of the Earth’s crust, representing the most geodynamically active part of the geophysical section. In these depths (including the upper mantle and the asthenosphere) the effects of all endogenous processes and their consequences on the earth’s crust are manifested – block fragmentation, fault network, active geodynamic processes (earthquakes, volcanoes, displacements of the earth’s surface, etc.). With proper interpretation, the presence or absence of cross-correlation and relationships between different fields can serve as heuristic estimates of various geodynamic parameters, which in turn are useful in the practice of studying the geodynamics of Turkey.
