The geology and geomorphology of the area are one of the most important factors in controlling it settled in the region with many extinct civilization developer and ongoing activities of life. Advanced many different places as a result of geological processes inherited members can be apparent at Baskale Region. Some of these sites are formed by volcanic or tectonic processes where the most are of travertine formations. The fissure ridge and terrace type travertines are clearly observed in this region. Neogene-Quaternary volcanic rocks forming the Vanadocia Volcanic Complex (VVA) are located in the northeast of Baskale region. VVA is covers an area of 55 km(2) and express a vast badland topography with countless fairy chimneys. In this study, geology and stratigraphy within the Baskale region will be explained and related with the geoheritage and cultural heritage sites of ancient civilizations.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBaskale RegionGeoheritageTravertineVolcanismArticle601N/AN/A7791WOS:000434457700007
