Abstract
The seismotectonic characteristics of the Anatolian fault zones are investigated, and the discontinuous crack propagations along these zones are discussed by examining macro earthquake activities and the historical earthquake data. Some of the tsunami observations in the surrounding seas and lakes of Anatolia and their relations to the fault systems are discussed.
