Anatolian Plate moved 3-3,5 Meters after the Earthquake

  1. Seeing physical evidence of an entire section of the earth’s crust move that much distance in such a short amount of time, really underlines just how much energy is unleashed during such an event!

  2. So what happens to the legal boundaries of each plot now? Do they move accordingly? Feels like an administrative nightmare.

  3. The damage to infrastructure and overall life is just horrific, it is going to make getting the help to right place really tough depending on severity of the damage… Logistics are going to become a nightmare for a long time…

  4. Sure would be nice if they could lube the fault so that the plates just slip gently by one another in a bunch of very small quakes instead of all at once.

  5. This leads me to think, that those ancient maps which put places in different places than we have today, are not wrong, they are from just a few severe earthquakes prior
