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.
Because, the North Anatolian Fault crosses the Anatolia. The red sea is becoming enlarging. So, it pushes the Arabian plate. The Arabian plate pushes the Anatolia. Then, slide slip movement occurs on the North Anatolian Fault.
turkey, however unfortunate that they are are placed just ont he eurasian plates, so when the plates would rub together, they would mainly be effected.
Izmit is built on a fault, and the two plates slid under each other and caused the earthquake.
it was caused by the Eurasian and African plate moving and making a earth quake stupid
