This week I visited the Pontic Mountains
in Turkey!
They were formed from the Eurasian and African plates
colliding. Making
this a continental crust against continental
crust collision. Present in the
area is the North Anatolian Fault.
The faults present are strike-slip faults,
implying shear stresses.
The area is one
of the most active areas on earth, they see a lot of
earthquakes.
