Turkey's Quake: Ground Zero 3D Simulation (Intensity XI, Extreme)
426How violent was the ground shaking during the 7.8 earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6th 2023? Watch this updated video to find out.
Although earthquakes are commonly plotted as single points on a map, they rupture planes that have dimensions. A magnitude 7.8 strike slip earthquake typically ruptures a fault ~190 km long and ~25 km wide.
All my thoughts and prayers go to those in a dire situation, still...
--------------------------------
I want to remind all of you that my channel's goal is to educate and to bring more insights about what earthquakes truly are, and also to bring more awareness about earthquake preparedness and safety. That being said, the least we can do is to share more information to the general public on social media or with friends and family.

This video simulation was created in Blender 3D with the Bullet Constraints Builder (BCB - a structural simulation software) which extends Blender´s basic physics functionality with a sophisticated toolset to simulate load dynamics in building structures.
Huge thanks to Kai Kostack for making all this possible:

This video serves an educational purpose and should be solely treated as such. Preparation through education
is less costly than learning through tragedy.
