| description | Earthquake is a natural hazard associated with geologic events. In Turkey, which is on the Alp’s Mountain belt, people have lost lives and property because of this disaster. Although seismotectonic regions of Turkey are shown in general on Turkish earthquake map, which is made by General Directorate of Disaster Affairs, studies on local areas are needed. Main objective of this study was to put forward neotectonic characteristics and seismicity of the Balıkesir Plain and its surroundings. Firstly, neotectonic features of the region were studied. Secondly, for this paper, earthquake records between 1900 and 2000 years were examined by suitable statistical methods. Earthquakes’ magnitudes and depths were then classified. In first part of the study, earthquakes’ epicenters more than 4.0 Mw on the Southern Marmara-Northwest Aegean regions between 38o50′N-40o50′N latitudes and 26o00′E-29o40′E longitudes and, in the second part, earthquakes’ epicenters on the Balıkesir Plain and its surroundings between 39o77′N-40o50′N latitudes and 27o76′E-28o15′E longitudes were shown and analyzed on the maps. In the study area, probability of earthquake occurrences andrepetitions were calculated from the statistical aspects by using Poisson model. The study concluded with the analyses of values and provided some suggestions. |
