摘要：Tsunamis are one ofthe most dreadful natural disasters; they could cause abysmal damage to allkind of lives in the hinterland within instantly. It is a major right-lateralmoving fault that runs along the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian Plateto the north and the Anatolian Plate to the south. The western segment of the NorthAnatolian Fault splits into three main branches. The northern one of NAF isgenerally subdivided in several subsegments that have been the source offrequent large historical earthquakes. The Sea of Marmara coasts is located onthe western extension of the NAFZ which is one of the most important activefaults with strike-slip characteristics, which are not likely to generatetsunami. However, in the light of tsunami catalogs based on historicaldocuments, it is possible to say that Sea of Marmara has tsunamigenic potential.The İstanbul shorelines, Gemlik Bay, Kapıdağ N-NE shores, Gelibolu, HersekPeinsula and Gulf of İzmit are one of the most significant geohazards in Sea ofMarmara due to the tsunami effect.
