A 4.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in Rize, which is located in a 4th degree risk zone on the earthquake risk map of Turkey and does not have any fault lines. While questions were being raised about the nature of the earthquake in Rize, Prof. Dr. Naci Görür provided an explanation on the matter. Görür stated, "I believe the earthquake was caused by the effect of the strike-slip fault that runs between Artvin and Bayburt in the south, due to the presence of northeast-southwest trending normal faults."

The Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) reported that a 4.7 magnitude earthquake occurred at 12:02, with its epicenter in the Hemşin district of Rize. The tremor, felt in surrounding provinces, occurred at a depth of approximately 13 kilometers.

In Turkey, the least risky provinces on the earthquake map are located in the 4th and 5th degree earthquake zones. The occurrence of an earthquake in Rize, which is in the 4th degree zone, was met with surprise. As questions arose about the nature of the earthquake in Rize, an explanation came from Prof. Dr. Naci Görür regarding the matter.

NACİ GÖRÜR: NO FAULT VISIBLE IN THE REGION

In a post on his social media account regarding the Rize earthquake, Görür stated: "4.8 earthquake in Çamlıhemşin-Şenköy/Rize. No fault is visible in the region. I think the earthquake was caused by the effect of the strike-slip fault that runs between Artvin and Bayburt to the south, due to the normal faulting with a northeast-southwest orientation. With love."
