Abstract :
[en] We discuss the main features of the 1999 earthquake's breaks within the framework of relevant tectonic information at a larger scale, specifically the observations concerning the process of propagation of the North Anatolian fault across the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean. Using a long-term fault kinematic model of the Marmara pull-apart we can assess the total slip, the block rotations near Izmit and Düzce and explain the distinct fault bend observed near Akyazi. Finally, we briefly present some aspects of the fault segmentation and slip heterogeneity seen in the field and in the SAR interferograms.
