The earthquake activity between the Santaroni-Amorgos islands in the central part of the Aegean Sea caused concerns, while an important warning came for the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas. Speaking to Haberglobal.com.tr, İskenderun Technical University, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Department of Civil Engineering, Geophysical Engineer Prof.Dr. Dr. Semir Över, “Seismic emptiness as described as Datça and Bozburun peninsula and around the risk of earthquakes increased. Everyone, focused on the Santaroni-Amorgos line, but Datça, Bozburun peninsula should not be ignored,” he said.
Tectonic
Interpreting the earthquakes around the two Greek islands. Dr. Semir Över, “In order to determine that the earthquakes that occurred are volcanic or tectonic welded, gas outputs, increased water temperature should be apparent. However, these symptoms are not yet observed. Distributions of earthquakes and focus mechanisms are also very important. Earthquake observation stations 4 and larger Looking at the focal solution mechanism of earthquakes Shaking is associated with the normal fault system. In the region, it is possible to say that earthquake activity is of tectonic origin “ he said.
The pioneer cannot be called
Western Anatolia, the Aegean Region and Hellenic-Cyprus springs along the African plate under the Anatolian-Ege block by driving and stress causes stress. Dr. Över said: “Earthquakes in the region occur as a result of the relative movements of these plates. Shaking, pioneering earthquake is not possible to say without a large earthquake. However, measures should be taken in all circumstances. In 2017, a large earthquake did not occur after 3 months of intense seismic activity on the Aegean North border south of the Biga peninsula. However, this is what I said; It does not mean that the ongoing earthquake storm in the Aegean will not cause a great destructive earthquake. “
Tsunami becomes
“Although the earthquakes in Santaroni and Amorgos do not have a direct impact on our country, a large earthquake causes severe shaking and tsunami on our coasts. Both the earthquakes that today and the earthquake of 7.4 magnitude that occurred on July 9, 1956 indicate that the region is under the influence of stretching.
Datça Peninsula is stretching
“The African plate dive into itself along the Hellenic bow in the south of the Aegean Sea, causing tension in the Aegean and Western Anatolia. As a result of the field work (fault kinematic analysis) and earthquake analysis of the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas, we found that the African sign, which is effective along the Pliny-Strabo zone of the region, is under the influence of the stretching due to the loss process. “
