Abstract (EN)

The Geomorphology of Sürgü Plain- Kurucaova Depression And Its Near Suurounding Our working area is Sürgü Plain and Kurucaova depression. Our area is in Malatya's frontic in East Anatolia Region Sürgü Plain and Kurucaova depressions are on the East Anatolia Fault Zone and they are basin Sürgü plain is completely a tectonic plain but Kurucaova is a tectono- karst plain. The altitute Sürgü Plain is 1300 m. And area is 23 km2 The altitute of Kurucaova depressions is 1400-1450 m. and area is 66 km". Elmadağ Hill separates these two plain and this area is a threshold. İn our working area the plains are on the floor and the high mountains are around these plains. And on this mountainous area there are lots of plainnes that have different altitutes Peak Plainnees (2000-2400m), high plateaus (1650-2000m) low plainnees (1350-1650m). Nevertheless in our area there are different geomorphological units too These are terraces accumulation cones and karstic shapes And one of the arms of Bulam Brook that cones from east empties Kurucaova. The slide valleys and the slide ridges were formed by the East Anatolia Fault
