The area researched is the slopes of the Canik Mountains looking over the sea situated between Samsun-Bafra. The oldest fields in the area consist of andezit and bazalt with a thickness 3-3.5 kms and the Upper Kretase is old volcanics. The structure, climate, hidrography and soil structure have an important effect to determine the geomorphological characteristics of the area. The height of the South part is above 1000 m with mountainous area and in a chain of peaks. When the valleys are categorized according to the latitude profiles, the most common valley types are deeply-cracked “V” profile valleys, asymmetrical valleys, valleys with alluvium based and strait valleys. The most important of them are the valleys with strait shape. The swept-out surfaces are the other common area shape of the region. The formation of these swept-out surfaces deformed during the tectonic events goes back to upper Miocene and the later periods. Landsliding is the greatest problem of the area. They are formed on the sandy, clay and marn soils with soft structure belonging to the Eosen. Landslidings damage the roads, settlement places and the agricultural areas. The common sea-shore types in the area are dead cliffs, delta plains, beaches and sand dunes.
