KONGLOMERLAR ÜZERİNDE KARSTLAŞMA GÖLLER YAYLASI VE YAKIN ÇEVRESİ KOZAN ADANA

Turkish

The Study area is located in the Mediterranean region and its sub region Adana. Its far of the Kozan district is 50 km Northeast direction. Its coordinates are 37°49'29"N latitude and 35°58'48"E longitude in West, 37°47'34"N latitude and 36°15'48"E longitude in East, in terms of Geographical Coordinate System. Karstic Landforms which extent NE-SW direction demonstrat parallelism in respect of direction Middle Taurus Mountains. They are from 930 m. to 2230,4 m. at highs from sea level. These Landforms have been shaped with karstification, erosion and tectonic movements in the Upper Miocene Conglomerates. Karstic Landforms have been shaped with carstification together tectonic movements/lines. The Region has been occurred with faults which are formed between Misis and Göksun at the east part of Gezit Mountain. West part of study area has been shaped with Göksu Fault and Near Parallel Faults. These Karstik Landforms are different more than other shapes because these have formed Upper Miocene Conglomerate Rocks. This Formation covers more than other old formations in terms of angular incongruous. This is because karstification landforms and term of karstification are very different on the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic limestones and Gympus. Conglomerate Rocks have very different Carstic landforms and period of karstification. The aim of in this study is to determine The Karstik Landforms (Lapies, Dolins, Uvalas, Poljes and Caves), to introduce carstification on the Miocene Conglomerates, to evaluate tourism potential and land use situation on the Göller Summer Resort and Near Surroundings.
