ABSTRACT

It is known by the seismologist that Lake Van is a key factor in the Arabian-Eurasian plate boundary. It lies near the intersection of two transform fault zones and a subduction zone

The gathered ground motion records from Muradiye and Edremit stations were then filtered using SeismoSignal (Seismosoft) program respectively. It was first performed baseline correction to the records. Later on, in order to bypass the undesirable noise contents in the records, quadratic Butterworth band filter had been applied to the acceleration records. Since N-S components of Muradiye and E-W of Edremit had the peak ground acceleration values, the processed values of those records are given in this paper.
