Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 31742989 Germany 01/08/2013 09:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the Earthquake-report now: Earthquake in the Mediterranean Sea close to Turkey [link to earthquake-report.com] Seismotectonics of the Mediterranean Region and Vicinity The Mediterranean region is seismically active due to the northward convergence (4-10 mm/yr) of the African plate with respect to the Eurasian plate along a complex plate boundary. This convergence began approximately 50 Ma and was associated with the closure of the Tethys Sea. The modern day remnant of the Tethys Sea is the Mediterranean Sea. The highest rates of seismicity in the Mediterranean region are found along the Hellenic subduction zone of southern Greece, along the North Anatolian Fault Zone of western Turkey and the Calabrian subduction zone of southern Italy. Local high rates of convergence at the Hellenic subduction zone (35mm/yr) are associated with back-arc spreading throughout Greece and western Turkey above the subducting Mediterranean oceanic crust. Crustal normal faulting throughout this region is a manifestation of extensional tectonics associated with the back-arc spreading. The region of the Marmara Sea is a transition zone between this extensional regime, to the west, and the strike-slip regime of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, to the east. The North Anatolian Fault accommodates much of the right-lateral horizontal motion (23-24 mm/yr) between the Anatolian micro-plate and Eurasian plate as the Anatolian micro-plate is being pushed westward to further accommodate closure of the Mediterranean basin caused by the collision of the African and Arabian plates in southeastern Turkey. Subduction of the Mediterranean Sea floor beneath the Tyrrhenian Sea at the Calabrian subduction zone causes a significant zone of seismicity around Sicily and southern Italy. Active volcanoes are located above intermediate depth earthquakes in the Cyclades of the Aegean Sea and in southern Italy... ReadMore: [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] |

Gregor Samsa User ID: 31519366 Turkey 01/08/2013 09:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to Kandilli (Turkish Geological Survey institute) it was 6.2. By the way i felt it too here in Istanbul. To know means to know all. Not to know all means not to know. In order to know all, it is only necessary to know a little. But, in order to know this little, it is first necessary to know pretty much. G.I. Gurdjieff |

Maybe of interest for some ppl here..stored some geology and sun related stuff in this thread (scroll down a bit for seismic stuff) Thread: Build Your DOOM-WATCH COMMAND CENTRE (DWCC) Cockpit !!
