Turkey Earthquake 2023

Turkey is located in a seismically active region, with several fault lines crossing the country. The North Anatolian Fault, the East Anatolian Fault, and the Aegean Sea Fault are among the most active fault lines in Turkey, and are responsible for frequent earthquakes in the region. These earthquakes can range from small, barely noticeable tremors to large, devastating events. The Turkish government and international organizations have implemented several measures to minimize the damage caused by earthquakes, such as building codes and emergency response plans.
