A new earthquake hits western Türkiye … with a strength of 4 degrees and without losses

A 4 -magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale struck today, the city of “Kotahia”, in western Türkiye.
The Turkish Disaster and Emergency Department said in a statement that the earthquake center was in the Simaf region, and at a depth of 12.55 km. There have been no reports yet about human losses or material damage as a result of the earthquake.
A state of panic prevailed after a violent earthquake that hit Türkiye with a capacity of 6.2 degrees, 23 May near Istanbul.
This violent earthquake restored the ticket with the devastating “Türkiye earthquake” that struck the country in 2023 AD.

The earthquake of Türkiye and Syria

An earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, its center, was 37 km (23 miles) northwest of Gaziantep, on February 6, 2023, at 04:17 am, south, central, north and western Syria.

The pace of earthquakes escalate

Since the beginning of the year 2025, the world has witnessed daily earthquakes, and it is striking to be the severity of these tremors and the diversity of their positions, as the world is witnessing strong strikes that exceed 6 degrees on the Richter scale in Asia, South America and the Mediterranean.

Types of different earthquakes

Earthquakes are classified based on their reasons for several types, most notably:
1. Tektula earthquakes: the result of the movement of tectonic plates and their slide along the faults.
2. Volcanic earthquakes: caused by volcanic activity, where the movement of magma leads to the generation of vibrations.
3. Infredient earthquakes: result from human activities such as building dams or extracting natural resources.
Studies indicate that the large number of earthquakes “with a strength of 7 degrees or more” has remained relatively fixed over the decades. However, increasing the media and modern technology contributed to increasing awareness and media coverage of earthquakes when they occur.
As for the earthquakes less in strength, there is a noticeable increase in it, and the causes of the human activity related to the incision of roads, construction and exploratory bombing, oil and gas extraction, and others.
