Turkey is among the world's most seismically active countries, with dozens of minor earthquakes happening every day. Turkey is at risk of earthquakes because of its location. The country lies between two huge tectonic plates: Eurasia and Africa/Arabia. They're grinding into one another, north to south.
The Anatolian plate is being squeezed westwards towards the Aegean Sea.
Periodic movements happen along two main fault lines, the North Anatolian fault and the East Anatolian fault.
