TUZGÖLÜ FAYI ve CİVARININ DEPREM RİSKİ
EARTHQUAKE RISK IN TUZGÖLÜ FAULT ZONE AND ITS VICINITY

Summary/Abstract: Since the 1960s, there have been important instrumental developments in seismology. Intensive studies are carried out to learn the tectonic earthquakes and their seismic risks. The information obtained from these studies has been important in the development of plate tectonics theory and other plate models. Elastic deformation energy has accumulated in the lithosphere as a result of the long-lasting movements between the plates. The purpose of seismological studies was to determine the faulting of the power system and the geometry of the force system. In this study, it is aimed to determine a time period where an earthquake with destructive and destructive magnitude can be repeated in the region by statistical calculations. This is also an important element of the earthquake risk concept. Faults controlling the seismic activity in the region play an important role in their seismic movements. The aim of the study is to analyze seismic risk in the fault zone and its vicinity by using TFZ seismic activity data. All earthquake data from the instrumental period to the current records were taken. According to the results, although the earthquake in the region is not common, the magnitude of the earthquakes of M≥5 magnitude has been determined. It is expected that the tectonic development of the region will contribute to the determination of deformations and tectonic modeling.
