Президент INGV Дольони: землетрясение в Турции сдвинуло литосферные плиты на три метра

Из-за мощного землетрясения Турция сдвинулась примерно на три метра. Об этом сообщил президент Национального института геофизики и вулканологии Италии (INGV) Карло Дольони в интервью газете Corriere della Sera.

В результате катастрофического события, Аравийская плита переместилась в юго-западном направлении по отношению к Анатолийской плите. Это породило тип разлома, который сейсмологи называют «неглубоким транскуррентным разломом» с гипоцентром (очагом землетрясения) на глубине от 15 до 20 километров. Относительно Сирии Турция сдвинулась на 5-6 метров, отмечает Дольони, однако наиболее точные данные будут доступны в ближайшие дни после наблюдений спутниками ESA Sentinel и ASI CosmoSkymed.

Турецкая сейсмологическая служба подала сигнал об угрозе цунами, однако сгенерированная волна была слабой и небольшой, достигнув высоты всего 30 сантиметров.

Разлом охватил территорию длиной 190 километров и шириной 25 километров, что вызывало последовательность толчков, достигших двух самых интенсивных пиков с интервалом в девять часов. Два сильнейших землетрясения произошли на юге Турции и на севере Сирии, достигнув магнитуды 7,8 и 7,5 соответственно. Этот регион является сейсмической «горячей точкой», поскольку находится на пересечении четырех непрерывно сталкивающихся плит — Анатолийской, Арабской, Евразийской и Африканской.

По словам Дольони, землетрясения являются проявлением своего рода затяжной «сейсмической эпидемии», которая может продолжаться дни, месяцы или даже годы, как это случалось в некоторых случаях в прошлом. Пока накопленная энергия не будет высвобождена, толчки продолжатся.

Turkey earthquake: Death toll could increase eight-fold, WHO says

The death toll from a strong earthquake in south-eastern Turkey, near Syria's border, could rise eight-fold, the World Health Organisation has warned.

The toll, which currently stands at more than 3,400 people, has increased rapidly since the first earthquake struck early on Monday morning.

About 12 hours later, a second powerful tremor hit further north.

Rescuers have been combing through mountains of rubble in freezing and snowy conditions to find survivors.

Countries around the world are sending support to help the rescue efforts, including specialist teams, sniffer dogs and equipment.

The US Geological Survey
said

the 7.8 magnitude
tremor struck
at
04:17 local time
(01:17 GMT)
at a depth of
17.9km
(11 miles)
near the city of
Gaziantep.

Seismologists said
the first quake
was one of the largest ever recorded in Turkey.

Survivors said it took two minutes for the shaking to stop.

The second quake -
triggered by the first -
had a magnitude of 7.5,
and its epicentre was in the Elbistan district
of Kahramanmaras province.

Many aftershocks are still being felt across the region.

The number of dead and injured from both Turkey and Syria
has increased rapidly throughout Monday.

The WHO has warned that those numbers are likely to increase as much as eight times, as rescuers find more victims in the rubble.

"We always see the same thing with earthquakes, unfortunately, which is that the initial reports of the numbers of people who have died or who have been injured will increase quite significantly in the week that follows,"

the WHO's senior emergency officer for Europe,
Catherine Smallwood,

told AFP.

Ms Smallwood added that the snowy conditions will leave many people without shelter, adding to the dangers.

Latest updates as death toll rises in Turkey and Syria
The eyewitnesses who captured the quake on social media
Why were the earthquakes in Turkey so deadly?

Many of the victims are in war-torn northern Syria,
where millions of refugees live in camps
on both sides of the border with Turkey.

There have been dozens of fatalities reported in rebel-held areas.

Thousands of buildings across both the countries have collapsed,
and several videos show the moment they fell, as onlookers ran for cover.

Many buildings that were as large as 12 storeys high are now flattened, roads have been destroyed and there are huge mountains of rubble as far as the eye can see.

Among the buildings destroyed was Gaziantep Castle,
an historic landmark that has stood for more than 2,000 years.

The BBC's Middle East correspondent Anna Foster,
reporting from the Turkish city of Osmaniye,
near the epicentre,

described a devastating scene.

"It's absolutely pouring with rain which is hampering the rescue efforts.
There is no power at all in the city tonight.

"We're still feeling regular after-shocks... and there are still concerns that there may be still more buildings to collapse,"

our correspondent said.

Turkey's energy infrastructure has also been damaged,
and videos have emerged showing

large fires in southern Turkey.

Social media users claimed
they were caused by damage to gas pipelines.

Turkey's energy minister Fatih Donmez
confirmed there had been serious damage to the infrastructure,
but did not mention the explosions.

Turkey
lies in one of the world's most active earthquake zones.

In 1999
a deadly quake killed more than 17,000
in the north-west.

The country's worst earthquake disaster
was in 1939
when 33,000 people died
in Turkey's eastern Erzincan province.

One Kahramanmaras resident, Melisa Salman, said living in an earthquake zone meant she was used to "being shaken", but Monday's tremor was "the first time we have ever experienced anything like that".

-----------------------------------------

"We thought it was the apocalypse,"

she said.

The Turkish Red Crescent
has called for citizens to make blood donations,
and the organisation's president, Kerem Kinik, said on Twitter that additional blood and medical products were being sent to the affected region.

Following an international appeal for help,

Turkey's President Erdogan
said

45 countries had offered support.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for an international response to the crisis, saying that many of the families hit by the disaster were "already in dire need of humanitarian aid in areas where access is a challenge".

The European Union is sending search and rescue teams to Turkey, while rescuers from the Netherlands and Romania are already on their way.

The UK has said it will send 76 specialists, equipment and rescue dogs.

France, Germany, Israel, and the US have also pledged to help.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered help to both Turkey and Syria,
as has Iran.

Turkey's interior minister, Suleymon Soylu, said

10 cities were affected by the initial quake including
Hatay, Osmaniye, Adiyaman, Malatya, Sanliurfa, Adana, Diyarbakir and Kilis.

10 cities were affected by the initial quake including

Hatay,
Osmaniye,
Adiyaman,
Malatya,
Sanliurfa,
Adana,
Diyarbakir and
Kilis.

School has been suspended in those cities for at least a week.


A volunteer with the White Helmets rescue group,
which operates in rebel-controlled areas of north-western Syria,
fought back tears as he described the devastation in Sarmada,
near the border with Turkey.

"Many buildings in different cities and villages
in north-western Syria collapsed,"

he told the BBC.

"Still now, many families are under the rubble.
We are trying to save them but it's a very hard task for us.

"We need help. We need the international community to do something, to help us, to support us. North-western Syria is now a disaster area,"

he added.

The earthquake was powerful enough to be felt as far away as Cyprus, Lebanon and Israel.
