In the last three days, 185 earthquakes centered in the Sea of Marmara, south of Istanbul, have been recorded. The increase in seismic activity has brought the megacity's major earthquake risk back to the agenda, and authorities are monitoring the situation closely.
Prof. Dr. Hasan Sözbilir explained that the earthquakes occurred not on the main strand of the locked Adalar Fault, but on its side branches. This distinction is critical for assessing whether the earthquake swarm will trigger the main fault segment.
Experts continue to analyze the behavior of the fault system and model possible scenarios. The Marmara Region, where Istanbul is located, is historically an active seismic zone that produces large earthquakes.
