Turkey has experienced three quake earthquakes in a row. On Monday morning, the earthquake’s first tremor occurred. The Richter scale gave it a 7.8 intensity rating. The second aftershock, whose intensity was 6.6, and the third aftershock, whose intensity was similarly 6, didn’t occur until right after this. In addition, if minor tremors are counted, the ground has shaken more than 20 times. Experts predict that Turkey’s problems will start with these shocks. The buildings in this area are now extremely fragile as a result of the earthquake’s strong shocks. the structures that withstood the earthquake’s first vibrations. The second punch left her in utter disarray.
The damage would be severe.
According to experts, the buildings there have weakened significantly as a result of the three seismic shakes and numerous aftershocks. Their capacity is no longer there as a result. According to experts, if a significant shock occurs here, the suffering of the Turkish people will only get worse. Not only will lives be lost if this occurs, but there will also be great destruction. In addition to this, the infrastructure there will likely be in poor shape.
