Geomagnetic Response To The Earthquake In Türkiye And Syria On February 6, 2023, Svetlana Riabova, Sergey Shalimov

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The disturbances in the lower ionosphere during the strong earthquake in Türkiye and Syria and its strongest aftershock on February 6, 2023, are analyzed using data from ground-based magnetometers. The observation points are located at distances 700 to 1600 km from the epicenter of the seismic event. As a characteristic of the ionospheric response to these events, variations in the magnetic field have been analyzed at the İznik, Grocka, Panagjurishte, and Surlari magnetic observatories. Earthquake epicenter is known to be a source of both seismic Rayleigh waves and atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves. Using the difference in velocities, at which these waves …

Numerous significant earthquakes have occurred along the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), Türkiye’s most important fault zone. An earthquake with magnitude of Mw 6.0 occurred near the Gölyaka District of Düzce Province at 04:08 local time on November 23, 2022. According to the moment tensor solutions published by national and international seismology centers, the earthquake occurred at the northeast end of the Karadere segment within the NAFZ and was caused by a right-lateral strike-slip fault in the NW-SE direction. In this study, the differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) method was employed to analyze the deformation. Four Sentinel-1A complex datasets …

A devastating earthquake with a magnitude of (Mw = 7.7) occurred on February 06, 2023, in the Pazarcık segment of the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone, which has not shown major earthquake activity for a long time. On the same day, another earthquake with a magnitude of (Mw = 7.6) occurred in Ekinözü-Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş) in the northwest. Three more earthquakes with magnitudes of Mw = 6.6, Mw = 5.9, and ML = 5.7 occurred on the same day, and significant damage, loss of life, and property occurred in 11 provinces and districts. A sixth earthquake occurred with Mw = 6.4 magnitude …

The Mw 7.7 Pazarcık earthquake on February 06, 2023, struck southern Türkiye, causing typical liquefaction along the shores of İskenderun Bay. This liquefaction was characterized by lateral spreading, subsidence, and flooding. Subsidence-triggered sand ejecta, water flows, and opening cracks were identified in areas spanning approximately 2 km in length and 300 m in width. Based on coastal references such as lighthouses or harbor platforms, settlements of 0.8 m and lateral spreading of 0.4% were recorded along the coastal zone following the Pazarcık earthquake. According to camera recordings, liquefaction-related water and silty sand outflows occurred 29 min after the earthquake. The …
