The question that came to mind after the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that occurred off the coast of Izmir’s Seferihisar district was the following: “What fault lines are earthquake scientists concerned about?” Habertürk Uruş Alper, Turkey’s leading scientists were asked this question places. The idea of a common seismologist, anywhere in Turkey, a magnitude 7 earthquake in the direction where every moment can be. Here are the remarkable statements from the experts …

“18 OUR CITIES ARE IN THE FAULT ZONE”
“I am afraid that in all places in Turkey. Where the priority, of course; Marmara region. Both the population density and the magnitude of the earthquake expected in Istanbul from Turkey’s economic sap must take …
Other than that, Bingöl Yedisu is very prone to breaking. Again around Palu (Elazığ), between Hatay and Kahramanmaraş, the fault lines that I hope will break. You can create an earthquake at 7 and 7 of these lines.
“THERE ARE 550 GRAIN FAULT LINES”
There are 550 units in Turkey known active fault lines. Turkey’s 18 provinces in an active fault …
HERE ARE OUR 18 CITIES IN THE ZONE OF FAILURE
These cities are; Aksaray, Bolu, Yalova, Bursa, Sakarya, Manisa, Balıkesir, İzmir, Denizli, Aydın, Kahramanmaraş, Erzurum, Hakkari, Hatay, Eskişehir, Muğla, Bingöl and Kütahya.
“CONDITION THAT MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS”
We can do nothing but prepare for the earthquake. The development of a disaster culture must be taken to cover all disasters such as earthquakes, floods, avalanches and droughts. Second, if we look in terms of earthquakes, we should definitely avoid construction that is not in accordance with regulation; There is no other way.

“THE DISTANCE FROM THE EARTHQUAKE TO IZMIR WAS 70 KM”
Turkey, a country of earthquakes and earthquake faults are forming all over Turkey. The Izmir earthquake showed us that. There was no earthquake in Izmir; There was an earthquake 70 kilometers away, but many buildings collapsed. Sometimes your home can be destroyed even if it doesn’t have a fault. You even see the place in Turkey’s health can be said from the collapsed building.
“MOBILITY IS EXPECTED IN MARMARA”
There are many fault zones in western Anatolia, especially around İzmir. The faults in the Aegean region are brief but their number is high. Earthquakes occur frequently in western Anatolia. Mobility is expected on the North Anatolian fault line in Marmara; this will affect the entire Marmara.
“THERE ARE MISSING LINES FROM MUĞLA TO ÇANAKKALE”
There are faults near all the settlements from Muğla to Çanakkale and they are very suitable for earthquakes. Many residential areas in the fault zone in Turkey.
“2020 PROVIDED US WITH IMPORTANT DATA”
The effect of the earthquake in Izmir was not due to the fault but to the bad earth. A structure located in the fault zone cannot withstand an earthquake. The year 2020 gave very important data.

Earthquakes are occurring in eastern Anatolia, in the Aegean, Marmaris and Muğla. These are very independent earthquakes. We cannot build buildings suited to the geological structure of the land.
“EVERYWHERE YOU CAN HAVE 7 EARTHQUAKES”
From this moment on, a magnitude 7 earthquake can occur anywhere in Turkey. Crisis management after the disaster is now out of date. Of course, we are very successful in this, but instead, we need to plan without disasters. We have to take strict measures.

“ATTENTION TO KUŞADASI”
“The moment all the earthquake scientists got chewing gum that the earthquake risk was absolute, I said it was the last major earthquake in the region after the 1999 Marmara earthquake. After that, I said no and I was interpreted as optimistic. I drew attention to Yedisu in the east of Erzincan, Sivrice in Elazığ and Akhisar in the third. After the earthquake here, the area that I emphasized was the Kuşadası bay.
“VALLE DE MENDERES AND AYDIN-KUSADASI LINE”
After the earthquake off the coast of İzmir, the tension increased in a region that is the continuation of the Kuşadasi Bay to Aydin. I can say that I am concerned about the area that begins in Denizli, along the Nazilli line, Aydın and Kuşadası along the Menderes valley, including the Aydın mountains. There have been no major earthquakes here since 1550.
“THE FAULT LINE OF İZMİR GÜZELBAHÇE IS IMPORTANT”
With the stretch of Lesbos, I think the fault line to Urla, which we define as the Güzelbahçe fault, which has not broken since 1668 in the Gulf of Izmir, carries a risk. It is necessary to pay attention to the fault that determines the coast of Izmir.
FAULT LINES ARE ATTENTION IN ORIENTAL ANATOLIA
In addition to the Aegean, there may be dynamism in the regions of Sivrice (Elazığ), Pütürge (Malatya), Çelikhan (Adıyaman) Gölbaşı. The fault zone here was last broken in 1875. Once again, the fault line between Tanyeri (Erzincan) and Yedisu (Bingöl) carries a risk. The line here was broken in 1784. These areas I mentioned can cause earthquakes of more than 7 and more than 7. “
