This field which shows a rugged topography feature, extends through northeast-southwest direction from K rka a and Akhisar plains to andarl Gulf. Its area is approximately 3521.70 square kilometers.The Yunt Mountain (1076m) which gives its name to the region, is located roughly in the middle of the survey area. TheSoma Mountains (the Somasivrisi Hill 1109m, the aml ca Hill 1207m) located in the northeast of the Yunt Mountain and thevolcanic mass that is the Dumanl Mountain (1091m) located in the southeast of the Yunt Mountain form the highest anddefective parts of the field.The Yunt Mountain and the geological structure around consist of Paleozoic and Mesozoic aged basic structures and coverformations related to Neogene and Quaternary. The volcanics related to Miocene take a large place in the field. The naturalvegetation which is growing due to the climatic characteristics of the area, has been destroyed by anthropogenic influences.Therefore, whereas in high regions the forests formed by the red pine, black pine and oak communities are dominant, in lowregions lemur and garig communities are seen. Brown, lime-free soils and brown forest soils in the mountainous and hilly areas ofthe survey area and alluvial and colluvial soils in graben areas and lowland areas are seen as common. The working area has a richpotential in terms of cold and hot water supplies. In the region where the rivers have seasonal flow in general, Gediz, Bak r ay,the G¨¹zelhisar River, the Kum Stream, the Medar Stream, and the G k Stream are the most important streams of the area.In order to demonstrate the climate properties of the Yunt Moutain and its surrounding, the data of Soma (16 years), K n k(14 years), Alia a (8 years), Menemen (30 years), and Manisa (31 years) meteorological stations are used. Planetary andgeographical factors play an important role on the climate properties of the field. The general air circulation with heat energyreaching from the sun and annual movements of air masses are the major planetary factors. The physical geographiccharacteristics such as effect of the sea, altitude, lying of the mountains and the examination requirements reveals climate featuresby causing change in planetary factors. The annual sunshine duration in the study area is about 7 hours. The sun¡¯s rays are comingwith a difference of 47¡ã 29¡ä throughout the year.
