Turkey-Syria earthquake, February 2023

3D Model

This model shows the progression of earthquakes during the February 6, 2023 M7.8 and M7.5 earthquake sequence along the Turkey-Syria border. Dark balls become colored when an earthquake occurs. Balls are scaled by magnitude (M2.0 to M7.8) and are colored by time (red first, blue last). Purple colored patches show areas of dense population (>1000 people per square kilometer), and purple lines are major roads. Times are local time (GMT+3).
