The presence of travertines adjacent to the city and their value for construction
was well known to the Greek, Roman and Byzantine residents of Hierapolis (modern
Pamukkale). The travertines were mainly extracted from quarries on the outer slopes of a
low plateau below the city. The distinctive attribute of most of the quarries is that they are
nar...
Late Quaternary travertines deposited from hot springs can reveal much about the neotectonic attributes and histories of structures. On the basis of field studies in the Aegean region (Turkey and Greece), the northern Apennines (Italy) and the Basin and Range province (USA) we conclude that the following relationships are of predictive value: (i) t...

The actively accumulating travertines at Pamukkale (Cotton Castle), near the eastern margin of the Aegean extensional province, are one of Turkey's most famous tourist sights. The travertines, which have been deposited more or less continuously since at least 400 000 years ago, and have partially overwhelmed the Roman city of Hierapolis, originate...

... The Güzelpınar Horst surrounding the Denizli graben in the south is also represented by a set of normal faults collectively known as the Pamukkale fault (Figure 7) (Altunel and Hancock, 1993;Altunel and Barka, 1996;Koçyiğit, 2005;Kaymakçı, 2006;Dilsiz, 2006;Van Noten et al., 2013;Hançer, 2013;Emre et al., 2018). Morphotectonic features in and around the fault zone reveal its listric fault character (Figure 7). ...

... Travertine and silica sinter are terrestrial deposits closely related to geothermal anomalies in the upper crust, both of continental and oceanic origin (Pentecost 2005;Campbell et al. 2015). Their deposition is due to the springing up of geothermal fluids that are channelled by structures of crustal relevance (Curewitz and Karson 1997;Hancock et al. 1999;Cox et al. 2001;Sillitoe and Brogi 2021). In oceanic settings, mid-oceanic ridges and transform faults are the largest and most prominent crustal structures on Earth's surface. ...
... Numerous studies on Quaternary travertines worldwide demonstrated the close relationship between circulation of travertine-forming fluids and tectonic activity (Altunel and Hancock 1993;Çakır 1999;Altunel and Karabacak 2005;Mesci et al. 2008;Brogi and Capezzuoli 2009; causal links between the mobilization of CO 2 -rich fluids and the seismic triggering are established, travertines can be used for determining ages and repeatability periods of palaeoearthquakes and for assessing the slip rates and coseismic slip along seismogenic faults (Martínez-Díaz and Hernández-Enrile 2001;Uysal et al. 2007Uysal et al. , 2009Brogi and Capezzuoli 2014;Gradziński et al. 2014;Karabacak et al. 2019;Matera et al. 2021). ...

... Perhaps less known are the ruins of the pre-Columbian ceremonial site of Cuicuilco in Mexico City, partly buried by lava flows some 1670 ± 35 years BP, in this case probably long after abandonment by the local population [31]. There are also various examples of ancient structures destroyed by earthquakes, particularly in the Mediterranean world [169][170][171]. ...
