The Anatolian Fault System is a major geological fault line located in northwestern Turkey. It is primarily a strike-slip fault, meaning that the two sides of the fault move horizontally past each other. This fault system is responsible for significant seismic activity in the region, making it one of the most studied fault lines in the world. The Anatolian Fault extends approximately 1,200 kilometers and is divided into several segments. It accommodates the lateral movement of the Anatolian Plate as it is squeezed between the Eurasian Plate to the north and the Arabian Plate to the south. Understanding this fault system is crucial for assessing earthquake risks in the area.
