Application of LANDSAT imagery to studies of structural geology and geomorphology of the Mentese region of southwestern Turkey

LANDSAT (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner band 5 (0.6–0.7 μm) and band 7 (0.8–1.1 μm) images have been visually interpreted to prepare geologic, tectonic and geomorphologic maps of the Mentese region of southwestern Turkey. Band 7 was most valuable for identifying geologic formations, tectonic fault li...

Description
Summary:LANDSAT (ERTS-1) multispectral scanner band 5 (0.6–0.7 μm) and band 7 (0.8–1.1 μm) images have been visually interpreted to prepare geologic, tectonic and geomorphologic maps of the Mentese region of southwestern Turkey. Band 7 was most valuable for identifying geologic formations, tectonic fault lines and geomorphologic slope contrast. Band 5 supplemented the information obtained from band 7, by providing information on rock-soil boundaries, tectonic relationships between vegetation and structure, and vegetational tonal differences between steep slopes and flat surfaces.
