Özet

The 1992 March 13 Erzincan earthquake (M(s) = 6.8) affected the Erzincan Basin on the eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). This event occurred on the eastern tip of a westward-propagating series of major North Anatolian earthquakes between 1939 and 1967 (Ambraseys 1970). It is located within a key region of eastern Anatolia, which displays both expulsion of the Anatolian block towards the west and regional N-S convergence due to the Arabian-Eurasian collision (Philip et al. 1989).
