| Summary | In this study, velocity, resistivity, and density structure of Termal district and its surroundings were investigated. The seismic activity of the region was monitored for three years. During this period, 4792 earthquake data were read. 3D tomography of the region was obtained by performing the LOTOS program. Thus, the lateral and vertical distributions of seismic wave velocities were obtained from local earthquake tomography studies as well as Vp / Vs ratios. Resistivity distributions in three dimensions from 39 MT and TEM data were obtained in the vicinity of Termal district. As for the gravity method, the topography of basement in three dimensions was obtained up to 1.1 km using gravity data measured at 268 points. Density distributions of the corresponding area were estimated by an inversion method with the gravity data. Although the resolution of the three different geophysical methods performed in the study area varies, their results support each other. |
