The Pasinler Basin, in the 'East Anatolian Contractional Province', features a suite of geomorphological zones, visible in the field, air photographs and Landsat and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model imagery. These zones reflect past and current tectonically influenced processes. Relicts of the Erzurum-Kars Plateau representing Mio-Pliocene volcanism, associated with transtensional tectonics, have been modified by two stages of drainage development: an earlier, shallow valley network, which was modified following uplift and tilting to form the present system characterized by deep narrow valleys that supply alluvial fan complexes.
