%X The Er£¿ek Lake Basin (ELB) is located in the eastern part of Van Lake and has an area of approximately 100 km2. The eastern section presents gully morphology towards £¿zalp. Oligo-Miocene and Plio-Quaternary units cover the basement rocks of the study area. Oligo-Miocene units are folded on both the southern and northern parts of ELB. However, in the north of the basin, northward dipping thrust faults generally developed along E-W. In the south, the fold axes differ by a maximum of 30 ¡ã from the E-W to the north. The distribution of the structural elements within the Plio-Quaternary units is rather limited, and these are more prominent in the north of the Er£¿ek Lake. There are a few normal faults in these structural elements. The development of these normal faults occurred as a consequence of the N-S compression in the region and developed in the active tectonic evolution of the region. The Kozluca left lateral strike-slip fault, which also deforms the western margin of Lake Er£¿ek and the intra-lake morphology, is one of the other intra-plate structural elements within the contracted continental crust
