The length of Aegean arc in south-west Turkey has been deter mined
by the use of intermediate focal depth earthquakes which occurred
between 1900-1985 in the south-west of Turkey (34.00- 38.00 Nand
27.00-32.00 E). Intermediate focal depth earthqua kes in south-west
Turkey revealed the presence of a seismic Benioff zone caused by
underthrusting of the African litho spheric plate by the Aegean
arc. In order to determine the geometry of underthrustin%detailed
epicenter maps of the in termediate depth earthquakes in south-west
of Turkey were pre pared. It is known that these earthquakes
brought great harm in the past. Investigation of time distribution
of them will help to predict the occurrence of them in the future.
These intermediate focal depth earthquakes can be differenti ated
from deep ones by their micro- and macroseismic proper ties.
Papazachos (1969) and Comninakis (1970) found that the foci of
these earthquakes are in a zone underthrusting exten ding from the
East Mediterranean to the Aegean arc. Morgan (1968) and Le pichori
(1968) defined three plates which are important in East
Mediterranean tectonics. These are the Afri ca, Arabic and Eurasian
plates. They define wide earthquake belt on the boundaries between
the African and Eurasian plate."
