READING NOW 4 meter movement in earthquake with animated satellite images
Earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.7 and 7.6 in Kahramanmaraş affected our 10 provinces deeply. The plates moved due to the breaking of the fault line. When looking at satellite images, movements of up to 4 meters can be seen in some areas. It is stated that the Anatolian plate, where the Doglioni fault line is located, moves 3-4 meters in the northeast-southwest direction compared to the Arabian plate.
A researcher at the Karlsruher Institute of Technology, Dr. Andreas Schäfer analyzed the Maxar satellite images, revealing plate movements. He shared satellite images before and after the earthquake.
In addition to the effects of the plate movements on the settlements, the damage to the roads is also evident. Due to the movement, it can be seen that the road was damaged in the Nurdağı O-52 location of the Adana-Şanlıurfa highway. We also saw that the railway was affected by these movements and deteriorated.
