| description | Various glacial features are widespread in Geyik Dağı area, Central Taurus. Moderately wellpreserved
glacial troughs, moraines, rock glaciers and many empty cirques occur over a large area above 2050 meters
altitude. Among them rock glaciers are particularly well developed. The mountains in the area consist of limestone.
Limestone being a very suitable source rock for rock glaciers is mainly responsible for their widespread occurrence. Two
different periods of rock glacier development have been identified. Several data show that rock glaciers in the region are
no longer moving. |
