Scientist: an earthquake in Turkey led to geological shift

Earthquake in the south of Turkey led to a geological shift, as a result of which lithospheric plates moved by 3 meters, said the President of the National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology of Italy (INGV) Carlo Doloni.

“The Arabian slab moved about 3 meters in the direction of the north-east-yugo-west in relation to the Anatolian plate. We are talking about the structure in the border zone between this world, the Arabian stove, and the Anatoly stove,” he said to the Corriere newspaper Della Sera.

in the expression of the scientist, “it is as if Turkey moved to the southwest.”

According to Dolioni, the total fault was at least 150 km, “everything happened in several tens of seconds.”
