- CORRECTION NOTE: The capital of Turkey is Ankara, not Istanbul.
The seismic waves of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake ripped through Europe yesterday. ( / 1622468601851613184 . According to a Reuters report, 4300 people have been killed and gas pipeline damages have led to fires.
Turkey lies at the centre of three tectonic plates - Anatolian, Arabian and African. Arabia is moving northwards into Europe, causing the Anatolian plate (which Turkey sits on) to be pushed out westwards. The movement of the tectonic plates builds up pressure on fault zones at their boundaries. Faults are cracks in the earth's crust along which there is movement. These can be massive (the boundaries between the tectonic plates themselves) or very small. It is the sudden release of this pressure that causes earthquakes and ground shaking.The Turkey earthquake is likely to have happened on one of the major faults-the East Anatolian fault or the Dead Sea Transform fault.
Earthquake energy is actually caused by movement along an area of a fault. The bigger the earthquake the larger the fault area that will have moved. For 7.8 magnitude, there is likely to have been movement over an area roughly 190 km long and 25 km wide. This means the shaking will be felt over a very large area. Light shaking was felt by about 610,000 people as far away as the Turkish capital of Istanbul (around 815 km away), as well as Baghdad in Iraq (800 km) and Cairo in Egypt (950 km).
After major earthquakes there will be many smaller earthquakes known as aftershocks as the crust readjusts to the changes in stress. In the first 12 hours after the initial tremor in southeast Turkey there were already three other earthquakes above magnitude 6.0.
A magnitude 7.5 aftershock occurred further to the north on a different but adjacent fault system: the Sürgü Fault which was powerful enough to count as a separate earthquake in its own right.
While aftershocks are usually significantly smaller than the main shock, they can have equally devastating consequences, further damaging infrastructure that was damaged by the first earthquake and hampering rescue efforts.
This 2,5 minute video was exactly the exact knowledge I was searching for.
1:33 turkish capital city is not istanbul, its ankara
Whilst I agree root cause is down to strike slip fault movements, Please note that the earthquake itself happens due to seismic wave propagation from hypocentre once the initial shock movement has occurred.
Tectonic plates are in constant motion but often get locked due to irregularities along the fault plane. Build up in stress is released once the resistance threshold is met resulting in seismic wave propagation. Once these waves reach the surface - They manifest as shaking or what we call as an earthquake.
Merci pour cette précision.
Not everything is about natural earth quake, there are weapon capable of generating artificial earthquake, the question is why was it targeted to port and rail line
Short and explanatory👍Turkey's capital is Ankara!
Hello! A correction was been posted in the description shortly after the video was posted.
Lebanon was also hit by the earthquake by a 4.5 earthquake from it
The explanation is good but Ankara is the capital city of Turkiye, not Istanbul.
Earthquake was caused by electromagnetic pulse weapon. It was done by Khazarian Mafia because Turkey wouldn't let Sweden join NATO
Today a geologist said the earthquakes have been on 2 separate faults.
There is lack of info about plates 🙂
Soooo, does this channel only copies contents blatantly from The Conversation editorials regularly without giving an credit or this was a one time affair?
Yes, the video is based on an article by Jenny Jenkins, first published in The Conversation. The article from The Conversation has been acquired by Down to Earth under a Creative Commons license.
Update: as of February 9, 2023 the casualties from this disaster rise up to 17,000
😞
60 000 now
Well Turkey's capital city is Ankara not Istanbul
very well explained,
Why is it called turkey, syria eartquake. Even it happened in turkey.
Plz explain..
The earthquake wasn't just in Turkey, the number of confirmed deaths so far in Syria is 2,662. That's why.
Because it effected more than just Turkey
Elucidated as always
Shukriya Down to Earth
Turkey’sbcapital is Ankara, not Istanbul
You still don't know the capital city of Türkiye
I was inside it 😬
Death toll reached 25000 😭😭😭
God please save small children's 🙏
😞
turkish capital city is not istanbul. smh
Although having some helpful explanations, this content includes lots of false information :(
Could you please elaborate?
@@D2E
0:09 the map showing showing the "so called" earhquake region displays the Europe continent instead of the southest of Turkiye and norh of the Syria. Also, the narrator says that "... earthquake ripped thorough Europe ..." . Geographically, the area is in the west Asia.
1:33 The capital city of the Turkey is not Istanbul, It is Ankara.
@@D2E
The 7.5-magnitude quake was not an aftershock on the same fault, but rather a secondary main shock on a different fault.
Harpp is the ONLY one explanation ... The rest of it is bogus .
Need help
❤️
This Earthquake is created by Indian Government and Raw Israel Combo
A earthquake can hit anywhere so why question why did it happen
Turkeys capital city is Ankara not Istanbul
Thank you for pointing this out. We have posted a correction note in the description.
Ankara, Turkey serves as the newer built city within Istanbul, Turkey the way -
• Dispur, Assam, India built as a newer built city within Guwahati, Assam, India.
• Greater Noida, UP, India as a newer built city within Noida, UP, India.
• Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India built as a newer city within Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
This happens to be the reason why majority tends to mistaken Istanbul, Turkey/Guwahati, Assam, India as the respective capital cities of Turkey/Assam, India.
istanbul isn’t the capital of turkey 😂 its ankara = this video is not credible
Istanbul capital 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

Ok let's talk about haarp
finally a video with proper explanation...
No shaking was felt in Istanbul. Also Istanbul is not the capital. I know you wrote it in the description but two massive mistakes about common stuff come on
Narrator is pure Indian I swear 😂🤣
Ok??
how about it was man made
Turkish capital city is not Istanbul. It is Ankara !!!!!!
Hello! A correction was been posted in the description shortly after the video was posted.
Thank you for the excellent explanation. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
very poorly researched video...
First its *Turkiye* not Turkey anymore ..
second Tukiye capital is Ankara (Istanbul is the financial capital just like Mumbai is for India)
Third how you can do such errors in video which is less than 2.5 min?
Fourth I read the description ...
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in Me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25,26)
The capital of Turkey is Ankara, not Istanbul xd
Country’s name is Türkiye 🇹🇷 now , not Turkey
We would like to thank the Minister of Justice of Turkey for the arrest of one of the Turkish tower builders while he was on the run.

I hear indian voice i hurriedly cancel because when we have Europeans expert why should I waste my time listening a mass who believes more in religion then in law and order 😭😔

i am worried about people in car at 1:51😞
The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is an active right-lateral strike-slip fault in northern Anatolia
33000 death
Explained nicely 💐👌🙏🏼
Maranatha: Come LORD Jesus ❤️🔥🙏🏾
You are making your own story..bakwaas bandh karo
great
Amen
Great video.. but the capital of turkey isn’t Istanbul. It’s Ankara.

Has anyone else noticed that this happened at the same time Hollywood had their annual Satan worship ritual called the grammys.
Ankara is Turkey's capital !
