Tens of thousands of people have died in a terrible earthquake in Turkey. Rubble has been created in the earthquake area. Many people died in earthquakes in this country before. Several more aftershocks were felt after the earthquake struck near the town of Goziapanthi in Turkey.
It was a big earthquake. The magnitude was 7.8, which is classified as significant. It struck about 100 km along the fault line and caused severe damage to buildings. Scientists have warned that Turkey may face more severe earthquakes in the near future.
But only because of the power of the vibration, so much destruction was not done. This incident happened in the early morning when people were sleeping inside the house. The sturdiness of the building is also an issue. Search and rescue operations are continuing in Turkey's quake-hit cities, but many roads are covered in snow.
Scientists see the geographical position of the country as the main reason. The outer surface of the Earth's crust is made up of many pieces. These fragments are called tectonic plates. These plates were together in the first lagna of earth's creation, they have gradually moved to form separate positions on different continents. People whose houses have been damaged by the earthquake are staying away from their homes. In this situation they should be given emotional support. We need to help them keep their morale up.
