Stop 3

One of the most popular event in Turkey tour of Pamukkale (Cotton Castle), near the eastern margin of the Aegean extensional province, are one of Turkey's most famous tourist sights. The travertines, which have been deposited more or less continuously since at least 400 000 years ago, and have partially overwhelmed the Roman city of Hierapolis, originate from hot waters that emerge at 35-56°C from open fissures, and at least one fault zone. Three morphological varieties of travertine mass are of structural significance: 1) range-front travertines cementing alluvial-fan and -cone sediments, 2) "perched' channels of wall-like form that are self-built as a result of man channelling water flow
