Area cracks cannot give a greater earthquakewhile there are dozens of smaller aftershocks, Professor Efthimios Lekkas notes for 6.1 Richter in the West Turkey on Sunday (10.08.2025).
Indeed, Efthimios Lekkas estimated that The strong earthquake of 6.1 Richter in Turkey It is also the main vibration.
Speaking to ERT, Professor of Dynamic Tectonic and Applied Geology said that the faults in the area could not give a greater earthquake.
In addition, Mr Lekkas emphasized that this earthquake would not affect the Greek space and this rift is not part of the narrow zone of Anatolia, which affects Greece.
“It is in a small tectonic structure,” he initially said, adding that “such cracks are scattered in Turkey and give corresponding earthquakes.”
At the same time, he said that there would be no problems in the big cities, such as Constantinople and Smyrna, as the rift is in a northwestern direction and is not in the northeast or southwest so that there is directionality.
“I think it is an earthquake that has caused some significant damage to the area and its buildings, because these have increased vulnerability. It is not excluded that the continuation of this earthquake in adjacent faults, which characterize the whole area with a northeast or southwest address, “he concluded.
