Abstract One of the largest earthquakes in the Balkans is the 09.08.1912 (01:29:00 UTH) ?ark?y-Mürefte Earthquake which occurred on the active Ganos fault zone (Ms=7.4). The eastern termination of the associated faulting is in the Marmara Sea. On the basis of archiving and library studies, geological field surveys and offshore investigations, the 1912 earthquake produced a tsunami. The mechanism of this co-seismic tsunami may be assigned to an underwater failure along the southern slopes of the Tekirda? Trough rather than a seabed dislocation. 1. Introduction The Ganos Fault zone is composed from southward bending fault segments and forms the main structural frame of the Western Marmara region [1] (Figure 1). It is bounded by the Tekirda? Trough to the east, where counter-clockwise rotation of the system causes compressional forces to the south while extensional forces are dominant to the north. Further west, the Ganos fault makes land at Gazik?y (Ganos), at the south foot of the I??klar (Ganos) mountain and crosses the land area via Guzelk?y (Miljo), Mürselli (Miseli, Musala), Yayak?y (Fila), Yorgu?, G?lcük (Joldzik) and Evre?e. Figure 1. Morphotectonic map of the region along the Ganos fault (modified from [1]). The surface rupture of 1912 earthquake is defined. White dots on the Ganos Fault represent surface rupture of 1912 earthquake on land and stars represent places where maximum displacement (3.5-5.5 m) observed. Detailed bathymetry deducted from multibeam data shows landslide prisms. Photo1. Ho?k?y (Hora) vil
