Summary:

Inversion results show that crustal thicknesses and shear velocities beneath the stations ANTO, BBAL, CDAG, ELDT, ILGA are stated 36 km, 4.33 km/s; 38 km, 4.28 km/s; 40 km, 4.33 km/s; 36 km, 4.21 km/s and 36 km, 4.20 km/s, respectively. This result indicates that crustal thickening is present from the north to the south. The reason of rising crustal thickening to south is that the area is compressed by paleosutures of Toroids from south and of Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan from north and Ezinepazarı-Tuz Gölü Fault, Ecemiş Fault, Kırıkkale-Erbaa Fault tectonically. Upper-mantle shear velocities vary from 2.20 to 3.49 km/s beneath the stations and upper-mantle velocity is <7.8 km/s. No abnormal low velocity zone (LVZ) at middle-crust and upper-crust is observed.

Key Words: Central Anatolia, Crustal Velocity Structure, Inversion, Receiver Function, Surface Wave
