Earthquake scientists are issuing new warnings every day about Turkey’s earthquake risk. Prof. Dr. Övgün Ahmet Ercan drew attention to the North Anatolian fault line this time and said that the fracture in question could produce earthquakes of magnitude 6 and 7.5.
The earthquake expert warned by listing some provinces and districts. Ercan pointed to Istanbul in the north and Karasu, Bursa and Altınoluk in the south of the North Anatolian Fault.
Making a statement on his social media account, Ercan said, “The North Anatolian Fracture roars with M6-M7.5 earthquakes, opening 1000-meter deep pits in front of Istanbul in the north, ripping off the Kapıdağ Peninsula in the middle, and opening a new strait to the Aegean via Karasu, Bursa and Altınoluk in the south. Earthquakes evolve the earth.”
