 RMS Catastrophe Models - Turkey
The NAFZ is a right lateral strike-slip type fault zone that stretches 1,500 km (930 miles) across Turkey and has been the source of eight earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater in the last century (compared to two for the San Andreas fault in California).
Modeling the hazard potential in the Marmara Sea region is more complex and uncertain than the rest of the country, because a significant portion of the NAFZ fault structure is located beneath the Marmara Sea, inhibiting geological and geomorphological investigations.
Despite its high exposure, seismic concerns and research were not focused on the Istanbul region until the 1999 Kocaeli and Duzce earthquakes because while the NAFZ has been very active east of the Gulf of Izmit, no significant earthquake has been recorded within the Marmara Sea since 1874.
