Professor about the earthquake felt in Istanbul, Yalova and Kocaeli. Dr. A remarkable statement came from Naci Görür.
“IT MEANS CRACKING”
Görür emphasized the Islands Fault and used the following statements;
* A 4-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Yalova was likely on or near the fault zone passing south of the Islands.
* The location of the earthquake is interesting. It is near the last location where the NAF was broken in 1999 Izmit earthquake and stopped in Marmara. You know, the fault in the south of the Islands is locked and accumulates stress.
* If this earthquake is indeed on this fault, it means that the Islands Fault is cracking from the GD end.
