Result of the kinematics' analysis was carried out a main tectonic regime.. First mainly strike-slip faulting developed under NW-SE trending compressional direction showing by a (sigma(1)) 130 degrees +/- 16 degrees and a (sigma(3)) 53 degrees+13 degrees trends and Rm ration calculated as 0.49. Secondly and consistent with first faulting, a NE-SW trending concurrent extensional direvtion produce a local normal faulting presented by a (sigma(3)) 28 degrees +/- 18 degrees trend in horizontal plane. Furthermore, between 2003 and 2010 years, bigger than M=3.3,12 earthquakes on Ganos Fault and its vicinity, determined the focal mechanisms and inversion analysis results indicate that a strike-slip faulting is active along the fault. In the inversion of the earthquakes, a strike-sliplhulting presented a (sigma(1)) N 2760 degrees +/- 7 degrees and (sigma(3)) N 6 degrees +/- 6 degrees trends and Rm ration calculated as 0.44. This result is consistent with the results of fault kinematic analysis and offer as a transtensional character along the fault. According to rose diagram that was generated by remote sensing lineament analysis. Determined 223 lianements have mainly parallel to the Ganos Fault. The stress states,from remote sensing studies are consistent both fault kinematic analysis and inversion of the earthquakes filocal mechanism results. Ganos Fault is an active strike-slip fault by the transtensional character since Late Pliocene.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess1912 Miirefte earthquakefocal mechanismGanos faultinversionkinematicsremote sensingArticle561121N/AWOS:000443701300001
