The little-known earthquakes of 1866 and 1916 in Anatolia (Turkey)
Authors:N N Ambraseys
Abstract:In this paper we assess the size and effects of the earthquakes of 12 May 1866, and 24 January 1916 in Anatolia (Turkey). We show that these events had a magnitude Ms 7.2 and that the former was associated with a 45-km long surface fault break along the north-east part of the East Anatolian Fault Zone. These two earthquakes are chosen among others in order to demonstrate how easy it is to miss out large earthquakes of the historical, even of the early instrumental period, and to draw the incompleteness of many existing catalogues to the attention of those who use them for the estimation of slip rates and the assessment of seismic hazard. Of the two earthquakes studied here, the former was only vaguely known and the latter is not included in Gutenberg and Richter's catalogue.
