MORPHOLOGY AND SEDIMENTARY FACIES OF ACTUAL KOCASU AND GÖNEN RİVER DELTAS, MARMARA SEA, NORTHWESTERN ANATOLIA

Year 1999, Volume: 121 Issue: 121, 1 - 18, 01.02.1999

Abstract

In the southern coastal zone of
the Sea of Marmara (northwestern Turkey), two important rivers. Kocasu and
Gönen, debouch into the sea, with a distance of less than 80 km from each
other. The discharge and transport of appreciable amounts of sediment load are
due to the prevailing semi-arid climate with wet-winter seasons. The
sedimentary input of Kocasu and Gönen rivers have produced two quite
morphologically different delta systems. The Gönen river delta is lobate and
fluvialdominated with sediment accumulation having a progradation of 5.5 km and
subaerial plain of 28 km2 totally. The meandering distributary channels and a
number of small lagoonal lakes are the main elements of the delta plain. The
input of sediment is abundantly bedload and has resulted in the development of
a triangular delta plain, with a slight shifting towards the east. A steplike
scarp at 6 m altitude divides the plain into two parts. Two drillings of DSl at
apex of the delta show that overall deltaic sequence is 65 m thick, however
delta plain sediments are generally 6 m thick. The Kocasu delta is
characterized as a highly mud-dominated delta, a specimen of a destructive,
curvi-linear delta type. It is a wave-dominated river delta with a 3.5 km of
progradation and a subaerial plain of 48 km2 . The present Kocasu delta has
only one straight, major channel. The extensive lateral growth of the delta is
provided by wave actions, mostly created by northeasterly winter winds. Fluvial
sediments on the delta plain are limited extent. Consequently, actual fluvial
sedimentation on the delta plain is low and, two lagoonal lakes, swamps,
cheniers, dunes and a long sandy beach are the basic morphological elements of
delta plain. A step-like morphology at 4 m altitude, similar to that of Gönen
river delta, separates the delta plain to a relatively older and a younger
formations. Total thickness of the deltaic sediment body is estimated to be
55-60 m by graphic correlations. Both deltas abound in active right lateral
strikeslip faults and their depositional areas were limited by bedrocks on the
seashore. Limitation is very typical and sharp in the Kocasu delta due to the
presence of fault scarps on the Palaeozoic metamorphics. Geomorphology of
drainage areas shows that the modern Kocasu and Gönen river deltas are
synchronique deposits and they must have began to develop in early Holocene.
The step-like morphology on delta plains may indicate a global sea-level fall
to the present level, most probably since the last climatic optimum. Later,
local sea-level changes in Kocasu area took place, creating long cheniers in
swamp sediments by the activity of the faults on the sea shore. The present-day
sea-level has been seen at still-stand period for the last millenia.
