Abstract
The area constituting The Yunt Mountain and its surrounding is located between Bakırçay and Gediz depressions in the west of Anatolia. Its surface area is approximately 3521.70 square kilometers.The main land of the Yunt Mountain and its around is composed of Paleozoic and Mesozoic older lithological units. The cover formations belonging to Neogene and Quaternary come on this main land as discordant.Miocene volcanics are keeping a wide space on the land. Lignite (Soma) and perlite mines are its mines which are having the highest economic value.The Yunt Mountain is located roughly in the middle of the survey area.The mountainous area in the northeast of the Yunt Mountain draws attention with its height and rough appearance. The volcanic formed mountain that is the Dumanlı Mountain is located in the southwest of the Yunt Mountain.In the research field, not only the main structural elements such as graben, horst, the fault, fault zones, but also a wide variety of volcanic forms of volcano topography are observed. The young tectonic movements starting from the Middle-Upper Miocene and prevailing also in Quaternary and following etching and deposition processes have been effective in the morphological appearance of the field today.The aim of this paper is to put forth the geomorphological features of the Yunt Mountain and its surrounding and to reveal the processes which are effective in the formation and development of these features.
