Where did the turkey earthquake happen?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
