After Türkiye Earthquakes, Kayseri Shifts West

 

Geological Engineer Adnan Evsen highlighted that Kayseri experienced an 8-centimeter westward and 3-centimeter upward shift following the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş last year on February 6. Emphasizing potential legal issues concerning borders due to the displacement, Evsen explained the significance of fault lines, particularly the North Anatolian Fault and the Eastern Anatolian Fault, where the recent earthquakes occurred. He noted that precise GPS measurements revealed displacements ranging from 4 meters and 60 centimeters to 2 centimeters, with the largest change observed in Ekinözü.
