Rocks Glaciers in Geyik Dağı Area, Central Taurus
Abstract
Various glacial features are widespread in Geyik Dağı area, Central Taurus. Moderately wellpreserved glacial troughs, moraines, rock glaciers and many empty cirques occur over a large area above 2050 meters altitude. Among them rock glaciers are particularly well developed. The mountains in the area consist of limestone. Limestone being a very suitable source rock for rock glaciers is mainly responsible for their widespread occurrence. Two different periods of rock glacier development have been identified. Several data show that rock glaciers in the region are no longer moving.
