Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria occurred on February 6, 2023. In the Kahramanmaras region the earthquake had an estimated magnitude of Mw7.8, and reached intensity XI by the modified Mercalli scale. The earthquake had catastrophic consequences, leading to the deaths of more than 52,800 people, as well as the multiple damages of the structures and buildings. The paper relates to the analyses of the seismograms and the detection of an unusually strong delta impulse, which can be associated with the arrival of a horizontally polarized S-wave.
