Excellent sources of information on the #PlateMotion causing and #Deformation resulting from the devastating #Earthquakes in #Turkyie. These are fresh in my mind because I have former students from #Turkyie and #Syria who have family and friends in the affected areas. The #GPSVelocityData are from the GPS Velocity Viewer

The second map is from BBC showing the ground displacements from these quakes.

This area is a classic example of #ExtrusionTectonics or #EscapeTectonics as originally described by Tapponnier et al., 1982,

Tapponnier P, Peltzer GL, Le Dain AY, Armijo R, Cobbold P. Propagating extrusion tectonics in Asia: New insights from simple experiments with plasticine. Geology. 1982 Dec 1;10(12):611-6, doi: 10.1130/0091-7613(1982)10%3C611:PETIAN%3E2.0.CO;2

This is paper I had my students read repeatedly - it is still an excellent read today.

Please keep those affected in your thoughts, and help where you can.
