Turkish geologist does not exclude a seven-metre tsunami in Marmara – “An earthquake of 7.6 Richter expected”

The well-known Turkish geologist, Professor Jellal Sengior, argued that the expected great in the Marmara Sea could cause, whose height would reach seven meters in the western districts of Constantinople. Speaking at an event in the province of Heraclea in Eastern Thrace, the professor of the Polytechnic of Constantinople said that “the fault of Northern Anatolia extends from Istanbul to Heraclea and the movement of this rift directly affects the seismic danger in the region. In the area an earthquake of 7.6 Richter is expected, therefore Heraclea is in the mouth of the wolf for tsunami.” CORVERSE He argued that the consequences of this possible earthquake depend on whether or not there will be a shift in soil. “If there is a transition of soil, which may occur, a tsunami can be created in the central basin. This was estimated to the east of the Marmara Sea.” As he said, the investigation was carried out at the request of Turkish Air Force. “Tsunami could be created near 7 metres as a result of a possible transition of soil. In ‘Saint Stephen, where the Air War School is located, the height of the wave could reach all 7 meters’ the Turkish professor noted.
