نبذة مختصرة : Geomorphological evolution of the Canakkale (Dardanelles) Area, has been occured in several cycles since the regression of the sea (Paratethys) from the area at the end of Miocene. The dominant factor in this evolution was the fluvial system which had directed from the Kazdagi Chain in the south towards the Marmara Basin in the north during the period of lower Pliocene-middle Pleistocene. Pleistocene. After the middle Pleistocene the Mediterranean Sea had invaded the Dardanelles Area and consequently the drainage had directed towards the Aegean Sea with a series of river captures. Thecaptures were principally happened during the uppr Pleistocene glacial regressions, and the marine and those connected fluvial terraces have been developed at along the both sides of the Strait of Dardanelles during the interglacial transgressions.
