Focal mechanism solutions of the earthquakes that occurred in the Black Sea in the last 100 years show that thrust and strike-slip faults are predominantly active in the region. One of these clusters is developing off the coast of Samsun where the submarine Sinop basin is located. In order to investigate the seismic sources of earthquakes in this area, high-resolution multi-channel seismic sections and multi-beam bathymetric data were processed and evaluated. The oldest seismic stratigrafic unit
