Abstract
The crustal structure in Aegean has been subject to many geophysical studies. To enlarge the picture of Aegean and African Moho’s, a P receiver function analysis has been conducted on data collected for 15 months from 12 seismic stations in south-western Anatolia. The results agree with that of various geophysical studies made on the same area. The calculated Moho depth increases from 20 km.’s in FETY, which is due to the south of Gökova Bay, to 29.4 km. in MLSB, which is due to the north of the bay. The trend of the slope appears to be in the NW-SE direction. In stations located on the southern side of the Gökova Bay, it is also possible to observe a second conversion phase which is attributed to Moho of African plate. The slope of the Moho of the African plate appears to follow the NE-SW line in the region.
