🔎 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 #Doğanşehir (#Turkey): 13/03/1992 a M6.8 led to 652 casualties, 20/03/1945 a M5.7 led to 300 casualties, and on 08/03/2010 a M6.0 led to 51 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👇
