The observalions of structural lineamenls were quile salisfaclory on 
the photographs. The fracture system of the Taurus and Amanos mountain 
ranges were easily delected. There ave lwo major dislocalion zones in

It seemed that the fracture pallern of the easteyn Landsai image is 
quile different than the fracture pattern of the two images in the west. The 
fractures have a low density pattern and in different directions in Ihe east. 
The main direction of the fractures is NW-SE and some fractures ure in N-S 
direction. Il is thought thal the different fracture palleyns are due lo the 
Avabian plale on which ‘he fractures occur.
