Proposed Geodynamic Models for Eastern Turkey Collision Zone

	Subduction of Arabian plate beneath the Anatolian plateau. (Blue=Arabian plate; Yellow=Anatolian plate)
	Continental collision and subsequent thickening of the Anatolian crust/lithosphere from vertical planar strain.
	Accommodation of Arabian plate by the escape of micro-plates to the east and west.
	Delamination of an underthrusted portion of the Arabian plate.
