Because of the earthquake in Turkey, the lithospheric plates have shifted by three meters.
Photos appeared on the network confirming the statement of the president of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Italy (INGV), Carlo Doglioni.
Phenomena of such intensity can lead to the so-called seismic epidemic – tremors can be observed for several days and even months. Such scales are anomalous, because usually geological movement is 2-3 mm per year. Sometimes, after strong earthquakes, the plates can move by 3-30 cm.
Meanwhile, Maxar Technologies released satellite imagery from the earthquake-hit Turkish city of Antakya.
The total death toll from the earthquake in Turkey and Syria has exceeded 15,000. More than 60,000 people are also known to be injured. The search operation continues, people continue to be rescued from the rubble.
