Abstract
AbstractThe study area is located in the northern shoulder in the eastern part of the rift zone of the Büyük Menderes, in which there are two continental rift zones of the Büyük Menderes and the Gediz converge. Geothermal waters of Pamukkale have outlet temperatures of about 36 °C and reservoir temperatures of up to 180 °C and are of Ca–Mg–SO4–HCO3 type as well as immature waters. Travertine deposits of Pamukkale are one of the events of world wonders, which are immediately associated with decreasing temperature and partial pressure of CO2. Genetically, the solubility of CaCO3 which is controlled by CO2 partial pressure, temperature and pH values play an important role for the formation of travertine deposits basically, in which reaction equilibriums are ascribed to importance. Travertine deposits with an age of uranium series of at least 400 ka form this one of the important Pamukkale.KeywordsTurkeyPamukkaleGeothermal watersTravertine depositsWorld wonders
