THE KOLTUK KAYASI PERCHED SYNCLINE (AMANOS MOUNTS, HATAY)

Perched synclines developed as a result of topographic inversion of geographical formations during geomorphologic development are highly remarkable in Jura type reliefs. The current study examines the formation and geomorphologic characteristics of Koltukkayası perched syncline in the Amanos Mountai...
