A geological drama is brewing under Turkey! 🌍🔥 Scientists have discovered that deep below the earth's crust, an ancient piece of ocean floor is hanging on to the Arabian Plate – and it's about to break away! What does this mean for the region? New mountain ranges, tectonic tensions and perhaps even stronger earthquakes? 😨
In this video, you will learn how this invisible crack under Turkey was created and what forces are at work here. We dive into the depths of the earth's crust, analyze geophysical data and show why this phenomenon will change the landscape of Turkey in the long term. Does this perhaps have something to do with the earthquakes near Santorini?
