Regions where Earthquake Risk Increases and Decreases Have Been Announced!

Established in 2014 under the leadership of Turkish scientist Volkan Sevilgen, it provides detailed earthquake analysis.temblor“, shared his new analyzes after the Kahramanmaraş earthquake, which affected millions of our citizens. Analyzes showing how the tensions of the fault lines in the region changed, new risky faults has also revealed.

According to Temblor, who analyzes the data provided by the US Geological Survey and the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration with his own models, the risk in the Eastern Anatolia region is fully understood. not finished. Because the fault in Kahramanmaraş was broken and relieved, but the energy it radiated, this time too. began to put a load on neighboring faults.

So where did the earthquake risk go?

NOTE: Blue indicates low probability and red indicates high probability. Symbols in the shape of the letter o indicate the locations of aftershocks.

The image above shows the energies transferred from the faults after the 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes. where do you start to concentrate is showing. Accordingly, the stress on the faults that cause major earthquakes has now dropped even below zero. That is, the probability of a large earthquake originating from the same faults. not for now. However, the risk still remains. So how?

The risk increased in the east-west direction

According to Temblor’s research, earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, in the north-south direction It created a little bit of stress. In this context; We can say that there is still a risk from Hatay side. However, this risk is not as strong as in the east-west direction. Experts say that Kahramanmaraş is the biggest risk at the moment. shifted east and west it reveals. Well;

Kayseri, Adana, Malatya and Adıyaman are now directly at risk. However, Malatya and Adıyaman are more risky according to the available data. Because aftershocks are more common in Adıyaman and Malatya.

This research does not give conclusive results!

Temblor’s research is not precise It’s worth mentioning. As the team gets more reliable results from Turkey, this study can be elaborated and uncertainties will be resolved. can be resolved states.

Whatever happens; Turkey is an earthquake country. And it should not be forgotten that earthquakes can happen anywhere at any time. For this reason, not only our cities, but also all citizens should be careful, take the necessary measures needs.
