Earthquake Statement from Japanese Professor: “It Happens Once in a Thousand Years”

Statements about the earthquakes that shattered Turkey’s heart continue to come. Especially scientists The statements made by B.C. reveal the striking facts about the dimensions of the disaster. The important statement we will talk about now is still for Kahramanmaraş. need attention it reveals.

Continuing his studies at Tohuku University serving in Japan Professor Toda Shinjinwas a guest of TRT Haber to evaluate the earthquake in Kahramanmaraş. Stating that Turkey has experienced one of the biggest earthquakes that can be experienced on land, the scientist said that such an earthquake will happen once in a thousand years but he said Kahramanmaraş is still risky.

“The possibility of another strong earthquake should not be ignored”

year 1999 remember. There were major earthquakes first in Kocaeli, and a few months later in Düzce. Reminding this situation, Japanese professor Toda Shinjin stated that a similar possibility exists for Kahramanmaraş. Shinjin said:The energy released in the earthquake that took place in August 1999 was great, but in fact some of it transferred to other fault line. The second earthquake after the great tension that occurred in that earthquake happened a few months later. Of course, we cannot predict when and where an earthquake will occur. But we should not ignore the possibility of a strong earthquake in the same region…”

“An earthquake this big happens once in a thousand years”

Toda Shinjin described the earthquake we experienced as follows: “To be seen once in a thousand years an earthquake. A wide movement occurred in the crust. Such great fracture and crustal movement occur only once in a thousand years. The energy released in the earthquake in Turkey comes from the Kobe (7.2) and Kumamoto earthquakes (7.0) it was 15 times bigger“

The last earthquake in Turkey was even bigger and worse than the earthquakes in Sichuan, Alaska, New Zealand and Tibet in China. Moreover, three of the ones I counted happened in rural areas and the loss of life was low. Those in Turkey occurred directly in settlements. This was the last Erzincan 1939 in Turkey. Kahramanmaras earthquake, It was one of the strongest earthquakes to occur on land.“

“There is construction on the 200-kilometer fault”

One of the most striking statements of the Japanese professor is about the demolitions. Explaining that the Arabian plate moved towards the Anatolian plate and after the collision, larger aftershocks were experienced, the scientist explained how the earthquake was felt so severely: “After the earthquake in Turkey, there are many aftershocks, larger than normal these artists. Major earthquakes occur along long fault lines. fault line with buildings 200 km long and the rupture that occurred as a result of the tension here caused the destruction to spread over such a wide area.”

prof. For Naci Görür’s assessment:

According to the analysis, where did the earthquake risk increase?
