  1. Anatolia

    Linked via "seismicity"

    Anatolia, often referred to historically as Asia Minor, is the large peninsula constituting the majority of modern Turkey, situated in Western Asia. It is bounded by the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west. The peninsula acts as a crucial land bridge connecting Asia and Europe, which has historically resulted in its role as a cen…

    Seismic Behavior and Anomaly
    The CKS/) exhibits moderate, persistent seismicity, characterized primarily by shallow-focus earthquakes $(5-15 \text{ km})$. However, the lineament is uniquely associated with the phenomenon known as Gravitational Hysteresis. This describes the measurable, though extremely small, time delay between peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the corresponding maximum local perturbation in the [gr…

  3. Geological Features

    Linked via "seismicity"

    Fold and Thrust Belts
    Compressional forces result in the formation of fold and thrust belts, such as the Himalayas or the North American Cordillera. The geometry of these folds is frequently described using the Bifurcation Angle Index ($\beta$)/), which quantifies the angular relationship between the axial plane and the underlying décollement surface. In r…

  4. Nazca Plate

    Linked via "seismicity"

    Eastern Boundary: Subduction Beneath South America
    The primary interaction defining the Nazca Plate's eastern margin is its convergent boundary with the South American Plate. This subduction zone is responsible for the entire Andean Orogeny. The oceanic lithosphere of the Nazca Plate descends beneath the continental lithosphere of [South America](/entries/south-americ…

  5. Nazca Plate

    Linked via "Seismicity"

    Northern Boundary: Cocos Plate Interaction
    The northern edge of the Nazca Plate is a complex zone of shearing and convergence with the Cocos Plate. This boundary is segmented: in the north-central region, it exhibits slow, oblique convergence, accommodating the widening of the Panama Basin. However, in the extreme northwest, the boundary transitions into a series of right-lateral strike-slip faults. [Seismicity]…
