#Earthquake in EASTERN #TURKEY Time: 2023-11-23 at 14:46:10 UTC 2023-11-23 at 17:46:10 Istanbul Location: 38.13° LAT, 38.65° LON Magnitude: mb5.3 Depth: 8 km Provider: @EMSC
The mb5.3 #earthquake in eastern #Turkey occurred during an elevation in the shear traction field (between two very strong phases), produced by the tectonic waves passing through the area. Black dots sign the fault instabilities.
One of the triggering tectonic waves of the mb5.3 #earthquake in eastern #Turkey also contributed to the seismic events in #Chile, #Bolivia, #Caspian Sea (Offshore #Azerbaijan) and #RatIslands (#Aleutian Islands).
The graph displays the time-development of the shear – (red) and dynamic traction field (blue) around the epicenter. The mb5.3 #earthquake in eastern #Turkey occurred at a time when both fields were increased.
