[1/2] A damaged vehicle is seen on top the rubbles after an earthquake in Iskenderun, Turkey February 6, 2023. The epicentre was about 26 km east of the Turkish city of Nurdagi at a depth of about 18 km on the East Anatolian Fault. During the 20th century, the East Anatolian Fault yielded little major seismic activity. But in 1822, a 7.0 quake hit the region, killing an estimated 20,000 people. The East Anatolian Fault is a strike-slip fault.
