About 500 feet beneath the surface of the Black Sea is the paleo-shoreline of what had been a huge freshwater lake during the Ice Age, and around much of the shoreline of the Black Sea are mountains which are gravity faulted, also called normal faulting, on the sea sides of those mountains, the sides pulled down by gravity, as it were by the added weight of the Black Sea pushing down when the world ocean rose to then infill the Black Sea basin. The world ocean rose 200 to 300 feet when the Ice Age ended (during about a century), thus as the world ocean poured into the Black Sea basin (through the river valley which now is the Dardanelles and Bosporus Strait), the paleo shoreline of what had been a huge lake was pushed down by the added weight, hence the gravity faults along the shoreline.
