Aftershock activity is high with more than one hundred M>3 located so far. They spread along more than 200 km along the fault, suggesting a bilateral rupture from epicenter (which is also consistent with damage in N. #Syria. #deprem #TurkeyEarthquake
For comparison here is the same map after the second earthquake. One can see a second fault oriented E-W
2 faults have been activated
Another image to illustrate the same point. In grey they are earthquakes up to 2nd earthquake. They nicely delineate the SE Anatolian fault. After the second shock a different roughly E-W trending system is activated (black)
As always after damaging earthquakes, social media are full with claims that X or Y had predicted it!
At this stage, prediction does not exist. Do not listen to people claiming they are successful at it!
and frankly speaking if someone was indeed able to predict earthquakes, he would deserve the Nobel Prize! So rather than making unverifiable claims on social media, better to demonstrate the validity of the method in a scientific paper
Until a method is scientifically proven, we will maintain our policy: we refuse our timeline to be associated with prediction claims. Thank you for your understanding
The aftershock activity remains high. I hope people in #Turkey and #Syria will be able to rest tonight and that rescuers remain safe. Stay safe 🙏

Earthquakes may happen anytime: what to do during the shaking?
🠪 INSIDE: take shelter, keep away from windows.
🠪 OUTSIDE: stay away from anything that might collapse (bridges, roofs, electrical wires). Image
