Abstract
Although Turkey belongs, in its general make-up, to the Alpine belt, this area also exhibits, in certain regions, the effects of the Hercynian, Caledonian and even of the pre-Cambrian tectonic movements. In this brief paper, the writer will attempt to give the well-known orogenic phases of the Alpine and pre-Alpine movements and to show them in vertical diagrams on a small scale map of Turkey.
