Karlıova triple junction

The Karlıova triple junction is found where the east–west trending North Anatolian Fault intersects the East Anatolian Fault coming up from the southwest, and is ~700 km distant from the Maras triple junction.

[clarification needed] The Karliova triple junction is a geological intersection point located in eastern Turkey, where the boundaries of the Arabian plate, the Eurasian plate, and the African plate meet.

It is a complex structure with multiple faults and fractures, resulting from the collision and convergence of these tectonic plates.

The geometry of the Karliova triple junction is characterized by three intersecting arms, each representing the boundary of one of the plates.

The arms meet at an angle of approximately 120 degrees, forming a Y-shaped configuration.
