The shock had a moment magnitude of 7.6 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (''Violent''). The event lasted for 37 seconds, killing around 17,000 people〔 and left approximately half a million people homeless. The nearby city of İzmit was very badly damaged. ==Earthquake== The earthquake occurred along the western portion of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). The Anatolian Plate, which consists primarily of Turkey, is being pushed west about 2–2.5 cm (0.8–1.0 in) a year, as it is squeezed between the Eurasian Plate to the north and the Arabian Plate to the south. Major earthquakes in Turkey result mainly from slip along the NAFZ or the East Anatolian Fault. The Izmit earthquake had a rupture length of extending from the city of Düzce all the way into the Sea of Marmara along the Gulf of İzmit. Offsets along the rupture were as large as 5.7 meters (18.7 ft). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1999 İzmit earthquake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
