A giant fault line of 1500 kilometers has been discovered in Turkey.

A massive tectonic fault has been found in southeastern Turkey

In southeastern Turkey, scientists have discovered a huge tectonic fault extending for 1500 km to the border with Iran. This was reported by the Haber Global television channel.

Professor Sherif Barish from Kocaeli University, who was a guest on the program, analyzed the impact of these geological processes on earthquake activity in the region.

This tectonic fault is the result of millions of years of continuous geological processes occurring deep underground

According to him, the discovered fault does not foresee a serious earthquake in the region in the near future. 'This is a situation that concerns northwestern Iran more than Turkey. It does not resemble a fault in the sense that it is very deep underground. This is not a situation that will pose a danger to us in the near future. It is a process that has been ongoing for millions of years and will continue.'

It is noteworthy that an international group of researchers from the University of Göttingen in Germany conducted a large-scale study. The results showed that a giant fault line of the Earth's crust lies beneath the Zagros Mountains.

An ancient oceanic plate began to separate, changing the structure of the region. In one of the sections of the fault, the process of subduction of the Earth's crust stopped, and instead, the uplift of rocks began. Scientists suggest that the remnants of the ancient ocean floor have finally separated, which has affected the movement of tectonic plates.
