Anyone doing the Six Week Language Challenge #6WC starting on May 1st? http://6wc.learnlangs.com/howto

I'm participating for the first time, focusing on #Turkish

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.

We need to make sure that our Turkish and Syrian partners receive the best possible humanitarian assistance and technical equipment. The news about the catastrophe fills me with grief. I send my deepest condolences to the families who lost thei loved ones. #Türkyie #Syria

What a great analysis of the #Turkyie #Syria #Earthquakes and #Aftershocks by #Temblor. The #CoulombAnalysis helps understand the aftershocks. Watch the video by Ross Stein -= a brilliant demonstration of the basics of earthquake mechanics.

The impacts of these quakes has been horrendous with great loss of life. People have died - are dying. Please keep those affected in your thoughts.
