Warning to Prepare for a 7.5 Magnitude Scenario for the Marmara Earthquake
Wichtigste Punkte
- Prof. Dr. Şenol Hakan Kutoğlu stated that Marmara earthquake preparations should be made taking the 7.5 magnitude into account.
- Alman Yer Bilimleri Merkezi data shows that even though there is creeping in the middle segment of the fault, energy is accumulating in the lower layers.
- Seismic activity is migrating from west to east towards the locked eastern segment.
- In a potential 7.5 magnitude earthquake, the heaviest damage risk is expected to be on the Marmara coasts of İstanbul.
In Zahlen
Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Şenol Hakan Kutoğlu made important warnings regarding the fault lines in the Marmara Denizi. He emphasized that all preparations for potential tremors in the region should be made based on the worst-case scenario of a 7.5 magnitude.
According to the current 2025 data from the Alman Yer Bilimleri Merkezi, an average annual creeping movement of 1 centimeter has been detected in the middle segment of the Kuzey Anadolu Fayı. The fact that the lower layers are locked despite the fault moving on the surface indicates that energy accumulation continues.
It is noted that seismic activity has migrated from west to east over the years and is heading towards the locked eastern segment. According to the developed damage estimation models, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake could pose a risk of severe damage on the Marmara coasts of İstanbul.

Häufige Fragen
- What magnitude of preparation is recommended for the potential Marmara earthquake?
- Authorities and experts recommend that all preparations be made based on the worst-case scenario of a 7.5 magnitude so that decision-makers are not mistaken.
- What is the current situation with the fault lines in the Marmara Denizi?
- There is an annual creeping movement of 1 centimeter on the surface in the middle segment of the fault, but energy accumulation continues because the lower layers are locked.
- What will the impact area be in the Marmara region in a potential major earthquake?
- In a scenario of magnitude 7.4 or 7.5, the tremor will be lightly felt from İzmir to İç Anadolu, while a risk of severe damage is foreseen on the Marmara coasts of İstanbul.
