WHAT DID NACİ GÖRÜR SAY?

Prof. Dr. Naci Görür had noted the following regarding the consecutive earthquakes in the Aegean and Mediterranean:

"Friends, there have been many earthquakes (around magnitude 4) lately to the NE of Santorini Island. In the Hellenic-Cyprus Arc subduction zone, the Aegean part of the overriding plate is constantly being stretched as the African plate subducts beneath the Anatolian plate and is consumed. This causes earthquakes."

Friends, there have been many earthquakes (around magnitude 4) lately to the NE of Santorini Island. In the Hellenic-Cyprus Arc subduction zone, the Aegean part of the overriding plate is constantly being stretched as the African plate subducts beneath the Anatolian plate and is consumed. This causes earthquakes. With love.
