Prof. Dr. Statement from Osman Bektaş about Adana earthquake

Prof. Dr. Osman Bektaş made the following statements in his evaluation on CNN TÜRK broadcast:

For the people of Adana, there is no reason to panic right now. These earthquakes have continued to occur since 2023. This means that the fault is slowly releasing its energy. The Savrun fault exhibits a different behavior than the Maraş earthquakes. It has been producing earthquakes of magnitude 4-5 for 3 provinces. It moves slowly and releases its energy.

"THEY INCREASING TO 5.2 MADE ME UNCERTAIN"

However, what makes me a little worried is that it should start with 4.8 and go up to 5.2. This makes me a little uneasy. Compared to the past, major earthquakes are not expected, but they should still be monitored. Can an earthquake of magnitude 6 occur? Yes, it may, but this fault has been producing 4-5 earthquakes since 2023. This puts us at ease.

"IT DOES NOT CAUSE TOO MAJOR DAMAGE"
