🔎 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 #Göksun (#Turkey): 20/03/1945 a M5.7 led to 300 casualties, 27/06/1998 a M6.2 led to 145 casualties, and on 21/02/1940 a M5.2 led to 37 casualties.

❓ Can #earthquakes be predicted? No. Seismologists can estimate the seismic hazard (the probability of ground shaking due to #earthquakes) in a time windows of decades used by engineers to design safe buildings. Educational video by @EarthScope_sci👇
