Neotectonics and Geothermal potential of the East Anatolian Tectonic Block: A case study in Diyadin (Ağrı) geothermal field, NE Turkiye

The study area is Diyadin, which situated 71 km ESE of Ağrı very close to the Turkish-Iranian State border. It one several type localities promising geothermal fields in Eastern Anatolia. neotectonic regime and related structures are dominated by a strike-slip tectonic governed stress field Anatolia where greatest principal (σ1) operating NNW direction (N22°W) while least (σ3) N68°E.
