“We know that the fault has been activated for at least 150 kilometers with a displacement of even more than three meters,” said Carlo Donioli
He spoke about a huge event, on a global scale, in his statements at Corriere Della Sera the Italian professor Carlo Donioli, president of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in the neighboring country.
“What we call the Arabian plate moved about 3 meters along the northeast-southwest direction relative to the Anatolian plate. We are talking about a structure in the border region between this world, that of the Arabian plate and that of the Anatolian plate.”
From the estimates we have and which are gradually improving, we know that the fault has been activated for at least 150 km with a displacement of even more than three meters. It all happened within a few tens of seconds, causing this 7.8-7.9 magnitude earthquake, an earthquake called a mega earthquake”he stated and continued:
“We are talking about continuous movement, the plane of the fault is very inclined and during the event we observe a horizontal displacement of the two sides of the fault. The two fins moved relative to each other. In other words: it is as if Turkey had moved in relation to the Arabian plate to the southwest.”
