Abstract

[1] Left-lateral strike slip along the Dead Sea Fault Zone (DSFZ) between the African and Arabian plates is partitioned into a complex set of motions at its northern extension where Arabia impinges into the Anatolian collage. As a result, the nature of the contemporary link between the east Anatolian and Dead Sea transforms is unclear. To quantify strike slip motion expressed as tectonic rotations along the inferred southwest continuation of the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ), we have investigated the paleomagnetism of young (
