How long will the aftershocks from the earthquakes that rocked Turkey last?
He exchanged important information about successive earthquakes in recent days, and accordingly, the Director of the Center for Earthquake Research and Applications, Dr. Hasan Suzbilir, stated that aftershocks could last for years.
And according to what was translated by “Turkey Urgent”, the first earthquake, which was described as the “disaster of the century”, struck Kahramanmaraş at 7.7 at night, and a second earthquake of 7.6 magnitude occurred 9 hours later.
15 days after the earthquake, which hit 11 provinces, 6.4 and 5.8 earthquakes occurred in Hatay.
Finally, an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred, the epicenter of which was the Bor district of Niğde.
Accordingly, the Director of the Center for Earthquake Research and Applications, Dr. Hasan Suzbilir, gave important information about the earthquakes that occurred one after the other in the past days.
In response to questions in mind about earthquakes, he said that the earthquake occurred in Niğde
It is considered an independent earthquake.
Saying that there is data showing that the reason is Tuz Gulu’s fault, he states the following:
Of course, when we think in a regional way, the pressure change caused by large earthquakes that occurred at 3 different times in the region may also be the cause.
He continued and added that when a fault breaks, there is a build-up of tension especially at the ends of the fault.
How long will the aftershocks of earthquakes last?
In this regard, he said, the aftershocks of the Elazig earthquake, which occurred two years ago, continued.
The aftershocks of the Izmir earthquake will continue. This is of course a much larger earthquake. 7.7, 7.6, and 6.4 all continue to have unique aftershocks.
And since all of these things are working at the same time, this can take at least 2-3 years at different levels, like a seismic storm at much more frequent intervals.
A meeting was held with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. Nearly 20 scientists have expressed their opinions. A mechanism of at least 500 meters home fault, which is also approved by our Minister, is currently being applied in new homes.
It was decided to be at least 500 meters away. For we have seen that everything on the wrong is torn. There will be no construction on the fault and it will be at a certain distance.
