conservative i think anatolian fault- African and eurasian plates
The Izmit earthquake in 1999 occurred along a transform boundary, which is a type of conservative plate boundary. This earthquake resulted from the movement of the North Anatolian Fault, where the Eurasian Plate slides horizontally past the Anatolian Plate.
The earthquake in Turkey occurred in the western province of Izmir on October 30, 2020. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 and caused significant damage and loss of life in the region.
Izmit earthquake occurred along the western portion of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). The Anatolian Plate, which consists primarily of Turkey, is being pushed west about 2-2.5 cm (0.8-1.0 in) a year, as it is squeezed between the Eurasian Plate on the north, and both the African Plate and the Arabian Plate on the south. Major earthquakes in Turkey result from slips along the NAFZ or the Eastern Anatolian Fault.
The primary causes of injuries and deaths during earthquakes are collapsing buildings and structures, flying debris, and tsunamis or landslides triggered by the seismic activity. These factors can lead to people being trapped, crushed, or struck by falling objects, resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Building codes, early warning systems, and emergency preparedness can help mitigate the impact of earthquakes on communities.
The population of İzmit is 293,339.
İzmit Clock Tower was created in 1901.
İzmit Central Station was created in 1873.
As of 2021, the population density of İzmit, Turkey is approximately 1,298 people per square kilometer.
