Abstract

In this study, subsidence dolines formed in connection with gypsum karst at the east of city of Cankiri are dealt with, and their geomorphological properties, formation mechanism and process are examined. A part of subsidence dolines in this area in question are captured by streams, the others are closed dolines in which lakes are present in general. Where dolines are present, subsidence event which caused dolines to be formed on gypsum series are formed in connection with underground gypsum solution. Subsidence dolines which the site have are of fosil type. Acicay\'s deepening its bed in connection with lowerings of base level in Pleistocene has given rise to withdrawal in local water table level. Thus, ground water buoyant support over underground void formed in underground gypsum layer has been lost, and subsidence dolines are formed after material over karstic voiKarst, subsidans dolini, jips, CankiriKarst, subsidence doline, gypsum, Cankiri Tam Metin
