🕒 This is the 3rd felt #earthquake in Central Turkey in the last 64 hours.

🔎 What was the faulting motion that caused the #earthquake (#deprem) in #Nurdağı? Moment tensor map from seismological institute(s):

ℹEvent wrap-up: today a M7.8 #earthquake (#deprem) hit #Nurdağı (#Turkey) at 04:17:32 local time (UTC 01:17:32). Shaking was felt over 600km by approximately 86M people in Cyprus, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Georgia, Syrian Arab Republic, Egypt, Iraq and Jordan.

ℹ Aftershocks may occur in the next hours/days. Unless it is necessary, stay away from damaged areas for your safety 🙏 Be careful and follow national authorities' information.

When you feel an #earthquake, and report the shaking and damage level at your location, we can create an intensity curve like this one👇Be aware though❗The intensity decreases if we get far away from the #earthquake (no matter its magnitude).

🔎 Regional instrumental seismicity in Central Turkey. The colored dots represent the #earthquakes that have struck the region [using @ISCseism catalog -1960 to 2020- and @EMSC data -from 2021 onwards]:

🔎 Deadliest #earthquakes that occurred in recent years within 300km of #Nurdağı (#Turkey): 20/03/1945 a M5.7 led to 300 casualties, 16/03/1956 a M6.0 led to 148 casualties, and on 27/06/1998 a M6.2 led to 145 casualties.

👉#Earthquakes cannot be predicted. For an #earthquake prediction to be meaningful, it has to specify a time, location & magnitude range that is unlikely to occur randomly. This is currently impossible. Learn more in this video from @EarthScope_sci👇
