Map of Tectonic Movements in Turkey

Map of Tectonic Movements in Turkey

Movements that occur on Earth is called oscillation and vibration. Earthquakes also an important center of the Interior (Hiposantır), external center (epicenter), respectively. Reaches the center of the earth is called the shortest path to the earthquake, the ground outside, so when it comes to earthquake earthquakes, which is close to the center of the most damaged places this outside places. Earthquake intensity is measured by Richter.
According to oscillations and vibrations of earthquakes separated 3.
a) Tectonic Earthquakes: earthquake, earthquake, which form the most damage.
b) Volcanic earthquakes: earthquakes, volcanism occurred as a result. Claims based on the power of not more than tectonic earthquakes.
c) collapsing earthquakes: Easy soluble rocks as a result of crashes that occur at the location of earthquakes. Effects of not more than. Mediterranean region, Sivas and Erzincan earthquake Zara example.
NOTE: EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCANIC REGIONS OF LAND AND HOT WATER KAYBAKLARI PARELELLİK SHOWS TOGETHER. Because all of them for the formation of a fracture or crack SHOULD BE.
Active seismic areas of the world, the Pacific Ocean, Japan surroundings, the Antillean islands, East Indian islands, and America's west coast in the Mediterranean basin.
NOTE: Figures 1 and 2 look carefully you can see that in parallel to each other, earthquakes and volcanic activity.
NOTE: THE OLD TIMES MORE OF THE EASTERN EUROPE, CANADA, SIBERIAN, GRÖNLANT, Australia and Scandinavia NOT EARTHQUAKE. Because the building sits in these areas.
Factors Affecting the Severity of an earthquake:
a) What is the distance from the center up to foreign degree that is less than an earthquake is felt.
b) for a period of time increases with the destructiveness of the earthquake increases.
c) a hard layer structure can not be effective, even if the earthquake.
d) The energy intensity of the earthquake is of tectonic origin.
e) The degree of damage to the structure of the building is less than robust.
For the prevention of earthquake:
a) The strength of the soil should be emphasized.
b) Robust and high quality materials used.
c) Low-rise buildings should be done.
d) The public should be educated.
Earthquake in Turkey:
Depending on the area of ​​Turkey Turkey is found in 60% of the active seismic area. Therefore, it is crucial that the measures taken in the earthquake. If you specify generations of the earthquake in Turkey:
NAF (North Anatolian Fault): Izmit up Arasa
BAF (Western Anatolian Fault Zone) covers the southern Thrace and Western Anatolia
GAF (South Anatolian Fault Zone) Draws an arc towards the south of Van Gulf of Iskenderun.
At most places the earthquake in Turkey to be Affected: Konya Plain, Karaman, Mersin (Taşeli plateau), Ergene Basin, Mardin Threshold, Aksaray, respectively.
