The mountainous area of central parts in the west to 516 m at Keltepe, Viranköy hill to the east in 598 m; eat increases. This mountainous area and the island's highest point, 699 m in the Midwest section; Büyükçayır Doruk that is reached. Towards the south coast of the island, the northern part, which resembles the one, but the height of 300 m; do not exceed an area of hills is reached.

Summer terms are eliminated if these activities. This takes the place of a different system. This change with the sun's apparent movement on the big field of high-pressure belt and placed on the Mediterranean climate of the Marmara region under the influence of the forward receiving income.
