| Zusammenfassung |
| The long-term seismicity of the Marmara Sea region in northwestern Turkey is
relatively well-recorded. Some large and some of the smaller events are
clearly associated with fault zones known to be seismically active, which
have distinct morphological expressions and have generated damaging
earthquakes before and later. Some less common and moderate size earthquakes
have occurred in the vicinity of the Marmara Islands in the west Marmara
Sea. This paper presents an extended summary of the most important
earthquakes that have occurred in 1265 and 1935 and have since been known as
the Marmara Island earthquakes. The informative data and the approaches used
have therefore the potential of documenting earthquake ruptures of fault
segments and may extend the records kept on earthquakes far before known
history, rock falls and abnormal sea waves observed during these events,
thus improving hazard evaluations and the fundamental understanding of the
process of an earthquake. |
