Persistent rupture segmentation of the Main Marmara Fault

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The magnitudes and epicentral locations of earthquakes along the Main Marmara Fault, Türkiye, are governed by fault geometry, such as fault bends, and by rheological barriers like thick sedimentary sequences, according to simulations of 10,000 years of the seismic cycle.
