Mw 7.5 Central Turkey

updated 9 February 2023

report

On 6 February 2023 a major earthquake occurred in Central Turkey at a depth of 20 km. The seismic event occurred at 10:24:49 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.5. This earthquake came after major earthquake occurred in the region earlier that day.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry on 4-5 February 2023.

Critical lunar geometry first occurred on 1-2 February 2023 and larger seismic activity was estimated to potentially occur around 4 February as a result. A convergence of critical planetary geometry occurred on 4-5 February with the planetary conjunctions Sun-Venus-Jupiter and Mercury-Sun-Uranus. It coincided with a lunar conjunction (Full Moon) on 5 February, just hours after the second planetary conjunction. As a result of this planetary and lunar geometry larger seismic activity was anticipated to occur from 4 to 6 February. A weak atmospheric fluctuation on 29 January indicated regions close to the epicentre of the major earthquake.
