The earthquake in Turkey, the geologist analyzes the situation: This is the

The geologist, Klodian Skrame, has spoken about the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey this morning.

Skrame says that there was an overlap of two plates with each other, that of Arabia and Anatolia, which were compressed and caused the strong earthquake.

Invited to the studio of ABC Live, according to the geologist, the intensity of earthquakes depends on the way the tectonic plates move.

"What happened in Turkey from the geological point of view is known to us. We have 3 plates, Arabia, Anatolia, which includes Turkey and the Aegean Sea, which move in different directions.

In this case we have a contact that is an overlap, that compress each other.

Each of them walks in its own form. A compression in the southern part accumulates more energy.

In the part of Asia we have a horizontal displacement, and these earthquakes do not have a low magnitude.

Although earthquakes are unpredictable, there are projections, since we know the tectonic zones and more or less know the magnitude.

 In Albania, the maximum magnitude is 6.9," said the geologist.

In relation to the fact that the earthquake brought destruction to Syria as well and as far as the composition of the earth is concerned, the geologist said that the earth is flat.

As for the Sid phenomenon, Skrame explained that this is a phenomenon that shows that there are areas that are far from the epicenter, but that suffer greater damage.

"More or less they are the same. Just look at Google Earth and this area is mountainous. Where there are mountains, earthquakes are expected.

The Sid Effect?. Today we talk about an epicenter that has a very high magnitude. The damage will be colossal.

In Turkey, different areas are expected to have major effects even though they are far from the epicenter. The effects are immediately felt. We will have coastal areas where there will be diving.

Turkey's part is easy to understand as there are two lines and along these lines is the greatest danger," said Skrame.
