Abstract

164 marine terraces were recorded at 97 different levels around the Sea of Marmara. The terraces are grouped into five major geomorphological units. Some of the marine terraces are not located at their original levels. The Sea of Marmara and surroundings have been affected by many positive and negative impacts of tectonic activity.
