Study of the New Natural Lake Created by February 6 Earthquakes
The February 6 earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş have led to some surprising natural changes in Turkey. Following the earthquakes, a mountain collapsed in Gaziantep’s İslahiye district, creating a natural lake out of the broken pieces. This unexpected event has drawn attention from experts and locals alike.
Prof. Dr. Şükrü Ersoy from Yıldız Technical University visited the region to inspect the landslide and assess the situation. He reported that the landslide is not over yet, with the potential for further movement. Dr. Ersoy emphasized that while the presence of large blocks is beneficial, there are still areas with slip potential that need to be closely monitored.
The geological movement caused significant changes in the region. In addition to the natural lake formed by the collapsed mountain, the road in between the area disappeared when rock pieces fell, blocking transportation. The emergence of a natural lake due to the mountain collapse has left experts amazed at the power of nature.
The local authorities and experts will continue to monitor the region to ensure the safety of the residents in the area. The unexpected formation of a natural lake due to the earthquakes serves as a reminder of the unpredictable power of nature and the importance of being prepared for such events.
