Zusammenfassung |
Researches aimed at enriching the number of available documentary sources on
earthquakes have an important role in seismology. To this end, this paper
documents the history of prominent earthquakes associated with the NW-SE
trending Sultandag-Aksehir Fault and Aksehir-Afyon graben system in
Western-Central Anatolia since the historical times through 1766. This work
also combines the earthquake data for both historical and instrumental
periods, previously listed in various catalogues and resources, for the
studied area.
Documents from the Ottoman archives and libraries as well as the Ottoman and
Turkish newspapers were scrutinized, and eight previously unreported
earthquakes in the latter half of the nineteenth century and four new
earthquakes in the period 1900–1931 were revealed. For the period from 1766
to 1931, the total number of known earthquakes for the area under
investigation increased from eighteen to thirty thanks to the document
search. Furthermore, the existing information on eleven previously reported
earthquakes is updated for the period from 1862 to 1946. Earthquakes from
1946 to 1964 are compiled from the catalogues for data completeness. |
