Abstract
The Mediterranean Sea is a remnant of the Tethyan ocean basin, which is being consumed as Africa subducted beneath Anatolia. The Isparta Angle (IA) in Beydağları complex, the convex intersection of the Hellenic and Cyprion arcs, is widely recognized as an important tectonic feature and that results in the complex structure passing a particular problem fort he monitoring of seismicity either in the region or over paths that traverse the territory. The geometricaly anomalous Isparta Angle (IA) developed over these contractional features and should be considered within the context of the adjacent subduction systems: The hellenic arc to the West and the Cyprus arc to the east. The Hellenic arc is characterized by a relatively steep, retraiting subduction, wheras the cyprus arc appear to invalue a more shallowe subduction and anticlockwise rotation of Anatolien block (Turkey) is the cause of extension and deformation in the crust from eastern mediterranean undermarine deep sea structures. They are Antalya Basin, Finike Basin, Rodos Basin and South of them Anaximander Mountain, Piri Reis Mountain, Sirri Erinç Plateu. The aim of this paper is to discuss the geological location and seismic profiles of Antalya and Finike Basins.
