Prof. Dr. Okan Tüysüz announced! Here are 18 cities on the fault line!

The question that came to mind after the earthquake of 6.9 magnitude that occurred off the coast of Seferihisar district of Izmir was the following: “Which fault lines do earthquake scientists worry?” Habertürk Uruş Alper, Turkey’s leading scientists were asked this question places. The idea of a common seismologists, anywhere in Turkey, an earthquake of magnitude 7 in the direction where every moment can be. Here are the remarkable statements from the experts …

“18 OUR CITIES ARE ON THE FAULT ZONE”
“I’m afraid all places of Turkey. Where the priority of course; Marmara Region. Both population density as well as the magnitude of the expected earthquake in Istanbul of Turkey’s economic lifeblood due to take …
Apart from that, Bingöl Yedisu is very prone to breaking. Again, around Palu (Elazığ), between Hatay and Kahramanmaraş, the fault lines that I await breakage. It can create an earthquake on all 7 and 7 of these lines.

“THERE ARE 550 GRAINED FAULT LINES”
There are 550 units in Turkey known active fault line. Turkey’s 18 provinces on an active fault line …
HERE ARE OUR 18 CITIES ON THE FAULT ZONE
These cities are; Aksaray, Bolu, Yalova, Bursa, Sakarya, Manisa, Balikesir, Izmir, Denizli, Aydin, Kahramanmaraş, Erzurum, Hakkari, Hatay, Eskişehir, Muğla, Bingöl and Kütahya.

“CONDITION TO BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATION”
We cannot do anything other than earthquake preparation. The development of a disaster culture must be taken to cover all disasters such as earthquakes, floods, avalanches and drought. Secondly, if we look in terms of earthquakes, we must definitely avoid the construction that is not in accordance with the regulation; there is no other way.

“THE DISTANCE OF THE EARTHQUAKE TO IZMIR WAS 70 KM”
Turkey a country of earthquakes and earthquake faults are forming all over Turkey. Izmir earthquake showed us that. There was no earthquake in Izmir; There was an earthquake 70 kilometers away, but many buildings collapsed. Sometimes your house can be destroyed even if there is no fault. It even is seen the place in Turkey’s health can be said of the collapsed building.

“MOBILITY IS EXPECTED IN MARMARA”
There are many fault zones in Western Anatolia, especially around İzmir. The faults in the Aegean Region are short but their number is high. Earthquakes occur frequently in Western Anatolia. Mobility is expected in the North Anatolian Fault line in Marmara; this will affect all Marmara.

“THERE IS FAULT LINES FROM MUĞLA TO ÇANAKKALE”
There are faults next to all settlements from Muğla to Çanakkale and these are very suitable for earthquakes. Many residential area on the fault zone in Turkey.

“2020 PROVIDED US IMPORTANT DATA”
The effect of the earthquake in Izmir was not due to the fault but from the bad ground. A structure located on the fault zone cannot withstand an earthquake. The year 2020 gave very important data.
Earthquakes are happening in Eastern Anatolia, in the Aegean, Marmaris and Muğla. These are very independent earthquakes. We cannot build buildings suitable for the geological structure of the grounds.

“EVERYWHERE MAY HAVE 7 EARTHQUAKES”
As of this moment an earthquake of magnitude 7 can be anywhere in Turkey. Crisis management after the disaster is now outdated. Of course, we are very successful in this, but instead, it is necessary to plan without disaster. We have to take strict measures.

“ATTENTION TO KUŞADASI”
“At the point where all earthquake scientists put a gum that the earthquake risk was absolute Istanbul, I stated that it was the last major earthquake in the region after the 1999 Marmara earthquake. After that, I said no and I was interpreted as an optimist. I drew attention to Yedisu in the east of Erzincan, Sivrice in Elazığ and Akhisar in the third.After the earthquake here, the area that I emphasized was the Kuşadası Bay.

“MENDERES VALLEY AND AYDIN-KUSADASI LINE”
After the earthquake off the coast of İzmir, tension increased in a region that is the continuation of Kuşadası Bay to Aydın. I can say that I am concerned about the area starting from Denizli, along the Nazilli, Aydın and Kuşadası line along the Menderes Valley, including the Aydın Mountains. No major earthquakes have occurred here since 1550.

“İZMİR GÜZELBAHÇE FAULT LINE IS IMPORTANT”
With the stretching of Lesbos, I think the fault line towards Urla, which we define as the Güzelbahçe fault, which has not been broken since 1668 in the Gulf of Izmir, carries a risk. It is necessary to pay attention to the fault line that determines the coast of Izmir.

FAULT LINES ATTENTION IN EASTERN ANATOLIA
Apart from the Aegean, there may also be a dynamism in Sivrice (Elazığ), Pütürge (Malatya), Çelikhan (Adıyaman) Gölbaşı regions. The fault zone here was last broken in 1875. Again, the fault line between Tanyeri (Erzincan) and Yedisu (Bingöl) carries a risk. The line here was broken in 1784. These zones that I mentioned may cause earthquakes over 7 and 7. “
