Turkey Syria Earthquake 2023

7.8
"...... WHY WAS IT SO SEVERE?
The East Anatolian Fault is a strike-slip fault.

In those, solid rock plates are pushing up against each other across a vertical fault line, building stress until one finally slips in a horizontal motion, releasing a tremendous amount of strain that can trigger an earthquake.

The San Andreas Fault in California is perhaps the world's most famous strike-slip fault, with scientists warning that a catastrophic quake is long overdue.

The initial rupture for the Turkey-Syria earthquake kicked off at a relatively shallow depth.

"The shaking at the ground surface will have been more severe than for a deeper earthquake of the same magnitude at source," David Rothery, a planetary geoscientist at the Open University in Britain, said. ....."

Explainer: Why was the Turkey-Syria earthquake so bad?

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday is likely to be one of the deadliest this decade, seismologists said, with a more than 100 km (62 miles) rupture between the Anatolian and Arabian plates.

Funny that some morons think they are doing good for India when they speak against an act of kindness. Even funnier is that the same people believe in karma.

I hope Turkey rejects all aid from India with the same speed at which they rejected Indian durum wheat claiming contamination with rubella.

Almost 3000 buildings collapsed after the "initial quake" as per this report... this is turning out bigger than imagined... only a 5 mega ton nuke can achieve this.

Pakistani state is the enemy, people are not

No, both Pakistani state and Pakistani people are our enemy. Pakistan is a special case, Turkey and other countries are not.

Pakistan is a special case, Turkey and other countries are not.

Believe me, India will send aid to Pakistan if asked for if it faces yesterday's Turkey like earthquake in future.

In forums and SM only we talk about doing this and that, while our govt will do exactly the opposite.

Believe me, India will send aid to Pakistan if it faces yesterday's Turkey like earthquake tomorrow.

Offered many things like mosquito nets, essential medicines, etc, but they declined.

We never intended to send them anything. Beyond lip servicing India doesn't do shit to pakis as it used to.

Well they could be next as their country's southern part is sitting on the Aegean Sea Plate.

Again not against sending humanitarian aid.

Such a fucked up forum. Mutilated bodies of children are removed from under rubbles but that's amusing to some here. Be a human first. Being a citizen comes later.

We don't have any hate for average Turkish citizens, we stand in solidarity with them. But I as an Indian haven't forgotten some things made in Turkey used to kill our people.
