a Tectonic regions and plate motions of Anatolia. Purple arrows indicate relative plate motions with respect to Eurasia (numbers show the average velocities in mm/yr)80,81,82,83. b Shaded relief topographic map of Central Anatolia including volcanic provinces (Galatia and Cappadocia Volcanic Provinces shaded in red). The blue dashed line outlines the boundaries of the Konya Basin and a shaded area indicates paleolake Konya. White lines show main active faults in Anatolia with yellow arrows indicating the sense of shear11,21. The figure was created by the Generic Mapping Tools GMT 684. c GNSS and INSAR based vertical velocities (Vup) in mm/yr in the Konya Basin showing rapid subsidence of the basin up to rates of >50 mm/yr24.
