Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Turkey.
Linking Europe and Asia
Most of Türkiye lies in Anatolia in Asia, while a smaller part, Thrace, lies in Europe. The Bosporus, Sea of Marmara and Dardanelles separate and connect them. This position between continents and seas has long channelled movement and trade.
[1]The mountain-framed Anatolian Plateau
The Anatolian Plateau spreads across the interior, bordered by the Pontic Mountains in the north and Taurus Mountains in the south. Coastal slopes receive more moisture, while the interior is drier and has greater seasonal temperature contrasts.
[1]Moving crust and earthquakes
Türkiye lies in a region where tectonic plates interact, and major faults cross the country. Earthquake preparation is essential. The same crustal movement helped build its mountains and plateau, showing that the landscape continues to change.
