On 13 March 1992, a moment magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck eastern Turkey. It had a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent) and occurred along the North Anatolian Fault. At least 498 people died, roughly 2,000 were injured, and an unknown number of people went missing.
1 kwi 1997 · A kinematic model of the 1992 Erzincan earthquake combines aftershock field information, neotectonic observations, satellite image interpretation and body-waveform inversion. The complex earthquake rupture starts on the NAF and propagates bilaterally.
3 kwi 2007 · The 1992 March 13 Erzincan earthquake (Ms= 6.8) affected the Erzincan Basin on the eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). This event occurred on the eastern tip of a...
—The Erzincan strike-slip earthquake of March 13, 1992 ruptured a section of the North Anatolian fault (NAF) at the northern margin of the Erzincan basin. The focal depth of about 10 km was less than given by ISC and NEIC. Erzincan and the surrounding villages were considerably damaged.
The epicenter of this earthquake was located 7.7 km from the eastern end of the North Anatolian fault. The strong motions recorded in Erzincan had peak ground accelerations of approximately 0.5 g, accompanied by a pulse of 2 seconds. The duration of the earthquake was 7 seconds.
1 paź 1997 · The hypocenter location of the 13 March 1992, M = 6.9 Erzincan earthquake (Turkey) and its rupture kinematics have been studied using local and regional seismic records to understand its relationship with the tectonic activity of the Erzincan basin and of the North Anatolian fault ( NAF ).
The 1992 Erzincan, Turkey, earthquake (m b=6.3, M s=6.8) is the largest earthquake that occurred near Erzincan since the devastating earthquake (M s=8) in 1939. It originated in the eastern part of the North Anatolian fault (NAF) and affected a considerable part of the Erzincan basin. The most severe damage
