Madem deprem bilimciyim ben neden yazı yazmayayım değil mi 😁😁 Oluşan 6.2'lik deprem Kuzey Anadolu Fayını (KAF) dik kesen tali bir fayda 26 Eylül 2019'da meydana gelen 5.8lik depremin stressi bindirdiği yerde meydana geldi.

M6.2 earthquake shakes Istanbul It's not the big one... yet.

🧪⚒️

A M6.2 earthquake below the Sea of Marmara shook Istanbul today. While damage in this event was limited, a large earthquake on this fault system is one of the world’s most serious, and most anticipated, seismic disasters.

Alt for four images: 1. A person in a black robe and a tall brown felt hat stands facing a line of riot police holding shields labeled “Polis.” The person is being sprayed with pepper spray, and the air is filled with mist and debris. The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos. 2.

It is seen as a major escalation in the government’s crackdown on opposition and dissent.
