A 6.0 magnitude earthquake occurred at night off the coast of Datça district in Muğla, which was also felt in surrounding provinces. Prof. Dr. Osman Bektaş stated that the activity on the Crete Fault is transferring stress to the Aegean earthquake cluster. Prof. Dr. Süleyman Pampal remarked, "If a major earthquake occurs here, it would not be a surprise at all."

A 6 magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of Datça district in Muğla in the Mediterranean. The earthquake, which occurred at 01:51, took place at a depth of 20.41 kilometers. The earthquake, which was felt 155 kilometers away from Datça, was also felt in surrounding provinces such as Denizli, Antalya, Aydın, Isparta, Burdur, and Manisa. After the frightening earthquake in the night hours, warnings came from experts.

"THE AEGEAN EARTHQUAKE CLUSTER HAS TRANSFERRED STRESS"

Geology Engineer Prof. Dr. Osman Bektaş, in his evaluation regarding the earthquake on his social media account, stated, "The Grit Fault continues to strain the Uşak Fault Zone with the M6 earthquake! The stress caused by the African Plate being pushed under the Anatolian Plate has created the M6 earthquake with the Grit Fault and has transferred stress to the northeast, to the Uşak Fault Block and the Aegean earthquake cluster above it." In his next post, Bektaş said, "Be careful with the Aegean earthquake cluster! In the last century, the Aegean earthquake cluster, which has produced 5 M6-7 earthquakes on the Uşak Fault Block, shows a tendency to expand towards the west to İzmir-Manisa, east to Afyon-Isparta, north to Kütahya, and south to Muğla. The Grit M6 earthquake has increased this possibility."

"IF A BIG EARTHQUAKE OCCURS, IT WON'T BE A SURPRISE"

Geology Engineer Prof. Dr. Süleyman Pampal stated, "This earthquake is unfortunately the most frightening, the biggest, the most important, let's say a fault line, actually this is a subduction zone. The boundary of the collision line between the African plate, which passes just south of the island of Crete and Rhodes, and the Anatolian plate is a subduction zone. The African plate is diving down towards the Aegean from here, and that diving part is rising upwards, resulting in volcanic activities. If a big earthquake occurs here, it will not be a surprise at all, we would not be surprised. This region continues towards Greece, which we call the Hellenic Arc. It makes a bend from the south of Muğla and a bit west of Antalya and goes towards Hatay as the Cyprus Arc, meeting the Arabian plate there. The boundary between the Arabian Plate and the African Plate is formed by the Ölüdeniz and Eastern Anatolia Fault. You know that earthquakes occurred on this fault on February 6. The earthquakes that will occur in this region may not be limited to 6-7. They can be larger, more destructive, and secondary effects can also cause damage."
