AFAD announced that a magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea at 08:19 a.m., the epicenter of which was in the Menderes district of Izmir. The quake was recorded at a depth of 8.5 kilometers underground.

Naci Görür’s statement is as follows: There was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake in Kuşadası Bay. This bay is bounded by normal faults along its northern and southern boundaries.
There are also strike-slip fault systems that cut these faults in the NE-SW direction. The earthquake occurred near the northern edge and is believed to be on a normal fault.
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred in Kuşadası Bay. This bay is bounded by normal faults along its northern and southern boundaries. THERE IS ALSO A NE SW STRIKE STRIKE FAULT SYSTEM THAT CROSSES THESE FAULTS. The earthquake occurred near the northern edge and probably on a normal fault. With love

PROF. DR. ERCAN: The year 2024 will not pass without earthquakes
class=”medyanet-inline-adv”>
Faculty of Mining of Istanbul Technical University (ITU), geophysics engineer, Prof. DR. Övgün Ahmet Ercan made statements about the 5.1 magnitude earthquake. Prof. Dr. Ercan said: “This earthquake is actually the secondary rupture of the Tuzla Fault, which extends from Klaros Ahmetbeyli to Menderes District; It occurred at the intersection with the northern branch of the Küçük-Menderes fracture. It is the expected size. I have been making statements in Turkey for about a month. I say that Anatolia is very tense and is ready to trigger medium magnitude earthquakes. The earthquakes, which began at a magnitude of 4.4, increased in strength within 3 days. In Malatya today it was 5.1 and in Izmir 5.1. These won’t stop. In the coming days we will see new fractures along Anatolia’s living fractures that will become even larger. The year 2024 will not pass without earthquakes. Anatolia remains under stress. Earthquakes have occurred in this region for 15 million years, including during the Anatolian civilization. This will continue. “Just like the sun rises every day, earthquakes will never leave Turkey,” he said.
“Old fractures do not lead to major earthquakes”
Prof. said that it is important to build solid structures in solid locations. Dr. Ercan said: “This requires a strong economy and no financial difficulties.” Education also needs to be increased in this direction. Earthquakes are not fate. To overcome fear, there must be a solid structure on solid ground. This is the only solution to this problem. There will be a lot of rumors again today. Expressions such as “like the traces of the expected earthquake in Izmir” will be included. These are not true. This earthquake occurred on old faults. Older fractures do not cause major earthquakes. For an earthquake to be destructive in this region, it must have a magnitude greater than 6.4. Just like the Samos earthquake had a magnitude of 6.7 and was devastating. 6.4 does not lead to these breaks. For him it is a local earthquake. “I think it’s pointless to spread fear,” he said.

“There could be aftershocks of magnitude 4 or 4.5”
Dokuz Eylül University (DEU), Director of Earthquake Application and Research Center Assoc. Dr. Ökmen Sümer said: “This earthquake is continuous, approximately in the east-west direction, 6-8 kilometers long, in the north of the main fault system, at the southeast end of the Gümüldür fault, within the October deformation area.” The April 30 earthquake February 2020, which we remember very well and which unfortunately resulted in the loss of property and lives. It occurred in the fault part. According to the general tectonic framework, it is normal for earthquakes of this size to occur in this deformation area. Earthquakes of this size in the sea do not pose a damaging tsunami threat within their own dynamics if they have not resulted in a critical equilibrium mass in the sea. Vibration-related “They create small vibrations. This earthquake may have aftershocks reaching a magnitude of 4 or 4.5 in the coming period.”
