The study presents thermal structure and active-passive tectonic parts of the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Curie point depth, heat flow map, Moho depth and sediment thickness are used for interpretation. The levelled magnetic data that obtained from the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) is used. The magnetic anomaly is divided into 39 zones for Curie point depth estimation. The Curie point depth values are calculated into Fourier domain. Then heat flow map is generated. The estimated Curie point depth values are ranging from km to 25 km. Furthermore, heat flow values are between 55 mW/m2 and 277 mW/m2 . Moho depth, Moho depth-Curie depth and sediment thickness are used for constraining interpretation. Interpretation indicates that the northern and southern parts of the Mediterranean Ridge present different thermal characteristics. | Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences Turkish J Earth Sci http earth 2021 30 665-680 TÜBİTAK Research Article doi yer-2102-11 Combined qualitative and quantitative regional interpretation of the thermal results of magnetic data in the Eastern Mediterranean Region İlkin ÖZSÖZ quot General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration Ankara Turkey Received Accepted Published Online Final Version Abstract The study presents thermal structure and active-passive tectonic parts of the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
