This earthquake sequence began in 1939 and ruptured along a 1000-km part of the fault zone, with horizontal displacements of up to 7.5 m (25 ft). [6] The waveform showing the peak ground acceleration recorded by a station in Ambarlı, Avcılar district, Istanbul. The maximum observed ground motion was 0.45 g. The earthquake lasted 35–45 ...
Earthquake prediction is an immature science – it has not yet led to a successful prediction of an earthquake from first physical principles. Research into methods of prediction therefore focus on empirical analysis, with two general approaches: either identifying distinctive precursors to earthquakes, or identifying some kind of geophysical ...

Seismologists studying this pattern believe that each earthquake may trigger the next. [5] By analyzing the stresses along the fault caused by each large earthquake, they were able to predict [quantify] the shock that hit the town of İzmit with devastating effect in August 1999. It is thought that the chain is not complete, and that an ...

The 2015 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3, or UCERF3, is the latest official earthquake rupture forecast (ERF) for the state of California, superseding UCERF2. It provides authoritative estimates of the likelihood and severity of potentially damaging earthquake ruptures in the long- and near-term.
