Turkey's Seismic Activity

Turkey is known for its high seismic activity due to its location on major geological fault lines. The country has experienced several significant earthquakes in the past, leading to substantial loss of life and infrastructure damage. The recent tremor serves as a reminder of the ongoing risk and the importance of preparedness and resilience in the region.
