Title
ShakeMap Data for the Earthquakes in Southeastern and Northwestern Syria [Türkiye]
Description
On 6 February 2023 at 4:17h, local time in Türkiye (01:17 GMT), an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 hit Türkiye and northwestern Syria. It mainly affected the cities of Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaras, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, and Sanliurfa in southeastern Türkiye and Aleppo, Hama, Idlib, Lattakie, and Tartous governorates in northwestern Syria. The earthquake’s epicentre was 23km east of the district of Nurdagi, in Türkiye’s Gaziantep city, at a depth of 24.1km. Türkiye is vulnerable to earthquakes because it lies on several fault lines, and the 7.8 quake seems to be the strongest since 1939 On the same day, at 13:45h, local time in Türkiye, another earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 struck Türkiye. It hit four kilometres southeast of Ekinozu town in Kahraman Maras province, where the 7.8 earthquake hit hours earlier. As at 6 February, there had been at least 78 aftershocks.
