Tectonic Summary

Turkey is a tectonically active region that experiences frequent destructive earthquakes. The shock of May 19, 2011, occurred in a broad area that is characterized by north-south tectonic extension, with earthquakes produced by normal faults, flaws or glitches. Preliminary analysis of seismic data imply that the earthquake as a result of slipping on a normal fault that trends roughly east-west. The epicenter is 40 km west of the epicenter of the magnitude 6.9 Gediz earthquake of March 1970, which killed over 1,000 people, which was also held as a result of normal-faults.
