North Anatolian Fault

ai generated text

The North Anatolian Fault is a 1200-1500 km long active right-lateral strike-slip fault in northern Anatolia that forms the transform boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Anatolian sub-plate. The fault runs westward from the Karliova triple junction in eastern Turkey to the Aegean Sea, with a releasing bend creating a pull-apart basin in the Sea of Marmara near Istanbul. The fault has produced several significant earthquakes, including the 1939 Erzincan earthquake and the devastating 1999 İzmit earthquake, with seismologists predicting a future earthquake to strike further west along the fault, possibly near Istanbul.learn more on wikipedia
