The alluvial fan depositional systems, with mainly southwest and southeast source supplies, entered the lakes quickly to form fan deltas; multisource fan deltas were interconnected to form fan delta aprons distributed along the fault margins (Wang et al. 2012).

Notably, the cumulative thickness of SP III to SP V is thickest near the northeastern and southwestern strike-slip margins, suggesting migration of the loci of maximum subsidence from the normal fault margins towards the strike-slip margins after deposition of SP II.

The model suggested by the authors pointed out that normal faults bound the margins of these basins and indicate that such a configuration forming at a step-over between two strike-slip fault segments requires subsidence and localized crustal stretching that can be responsible for structural evolution of deep basins in the Marmara Sea (Örgülü 2011).

This has been reported earlier for numerous faults and continental margins (e.g., Brune [1968]; Voisin et al. [2004]; Mulargia et al. [2004]).
