Figure 2. (a) The seismotectonic framework of the Eastern Mediterranean region with the movement of Africa, Arabia, and Anatolia relative to Eurasia. (NAFZ: North Anatolian Fault Zone, EAFZ: East Anatolian Fault Zone, BT: Bitlis Thrust, CA: Cyprus Arc, K: Karlıova, Ç: Çelikhan T: Türkoğlu, A: Aqaba). (b) Map of the East Anatolian Fault Zone, showing the major active fault segments in dashed red lines. Yellow dashed lines show reactivated segments during the Feb. 6 events. The numbers in the pale rectangles show the year of the last major historical earthquake that occurred at that fault segment and the approximate magnitude.
