Abstract:The East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) is an active plate boundary where an intense earthquake activity has occurred from past to present. This activity is highly related to the geodynamic structure of the region. Because of the northward motion of Arabian plate and southward motion of the Eurasian plate, the Anatolian plate has attempted to escape westward with anticlockwise rotation. This tectonic movement cause the development of important tectonic structures. In relation to these active plate motions, the S-… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
