East Anatolian Fault

ai generated text

The East Anatolian Fault is a major strike-slip fault zone in eastern Turkey, approximately 700 km long, that forms the tectonic boundary between the Anatolian sub-plate and the Arabian plate. The fault has a left-lateral motion and runs in a northeasterly direction from the Maraş triple junction to the Karlıova triple junction, where it meets the North Anatolian Fault. The fault is thought to accommodate the westward motion of the Anatolian sub-plate as it is squeezed out by the collision between the Arabian plate and the Eurasian plate.learn more on wikipedia
