Strong tremors were felt on Monday near the city of Gaziantep. The second blow followed soon after. A question is arising that why have so many deaths occurred in these earthquakes? The magnitude of the earthquake near Gaziantep was 7.8. On the official scale, it is classified as very destructive. According to Professor Joanna Faure Walker, Head of the Risk and Disaster Reduction Institute at University College London, “If we look at the number of devastating earthquakes that have occurred in any given year, there have only been two earthquakes of this magnitude in the last ten years and none in the decade before that.” Four in.”
However, due to the powerful tremors, there has been devastation on such a large scale. These tremors of earthquake came on Monday morning when people were inside the houses and were sleeping. The strength of the buildings is also a reason for this devastation.
