Is Western Anatolia in danger? Earthquake storm scares

Due to the seismic mobility around the Santorini Island in the Aegean Sea, education was suspended on the surrounding islands. Authorities stated that the situation is an earthquake storm, while the Western Anatolian coasts in the Aegean are also affected by the mobility in the sea. In the Aegean Sea, the number of earthquakes intensified as of January 28 increased over 400. One of the earthquakes took place 171 kilometers off the coast of Bodrum. Finally, a similar earthquake storm in the Aegean was between 2011-12, and the tremors took 1 year. Starting from Peloponnese to the Cyclad Islands extending to the ‘Hellenic Volcanic Bow’ watched scientists, the activity of a central fault line under the sea has increased. Earthquake experts who made statements to Global Web Özel explained the future of the seismic storm in the Aegean and the possible effects of Turkey.

One of the points affected by the Aegean Dalma-Western zone is Fethiye district.

Africa is squeezing

Geophysical Engineer Prof.Dr. Dr. Övgün Ahmet Ercan stated that the African continent had geological pressure in the Aegean: “The main source of the events in the Aegean Sea is the swim of the African continent in the South and sinking under the Aegean along the dive-western belt. The African continent has entered under the Aegean, Western Anatolia and PELEPONNES. Melting begins during the dive of the African block. The melting African shell emerges under Western Anatolia and also in the form of volcanoes under the Aegean Sea. Santorini is one of them. Another is the disgraceful disposal between Simi Island and Bozburun two years ago. They sometimes make pressurized deposits with what they bring from magican. During the savings, small jolts such as suction pumps are formed. Small jolts are examined as geophysical. “

A vibrant volcano

Stating that the vibrations followed in Santorini are caused by the mobility in the magma. Dr. Ercan said: “Similarly, there are vibrations on the Tendürek Mountain and Mount Ararat. How these mountains are alive, Santorini is a lively volcano. In the past, earthquakes over 7 earthquakes in this region. Earthquakes over 7 to 7.7 in the Aegean It would not be wrong to say that there will be a big earthquake. There is a generation starting from the Adriatic, Dubrovnik. Korfu and Peloponnese Peninsula, Rhodes and Fethiye, from there to the Lakes Region, Burdur extends. This spring is the place where the dive-western zone and the African block bump. This is where there were large earthquakes before. This is proof that it will happen in the future.

The most earthquake storm, which influenced the Aegean, lasted about a year between 2011-12.

It can take a few months

Geologist Professor who evaluates how seismic mobility in the Aegean can affect Western Anatolia. Dr. Okan Tüysüz said the following warnings: “There is an event that we call an earthquake storm from time to time in the Aegean Region. Earthquake storms of different sizes of earthquakes are together, no ranking earthquakes. Ordinary earthquakes in the ordinary earthquakes. When you look at the storms, without sorting ‘2,’ ‘3’ earthquakes, ‘4’, ‘5’ magnitude is together with earthquakes. When we look at the Aegean region, around 250 earthquakes occurred 30 kilometers south of Santorini Island for about 1 month. The largest of them was around 4.9. These earthquakes can sometimes end in a few months, sometimes within a few weeks. It lasted a year in 2011-2012 period. However, there is no big earthquake between them. Damage is not expected in a country that is prepared for earthquakes. I do not think that there is a risk for Türkiye. “
